FOR 40 young children living in squalid conditions less than 30km from South Africa's wealthiest suburbs, "Ouma" is their guardian angel, their difference between life and death. Unable to fend for themselves, the Randfontein dump children, forgotten by many, rely on Anna "Ouma" Esterhuizen for everything, including life. Their parents, many unemployed and HIV positive, are desperate. Desperate for their children to be given a fighting chance, a chance at survival.
