inperpetuity Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Wow, they look really solid. I can see why they continue to grow. Thank you for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Do they have an orphanage? There are a lot of albino kids in their pictures and I can't imagine how so many albinos would come together unless they're commonly abandoned in Tanzania.

josephine Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Although it is true that there are more albino's in tanzania, it might also be that they were abandonned. There are some local, ancient, beliefs that albino body parts should be used in medicine or occult rituals. Being an albino is no fun in tanzania... http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-31849531 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are commonly abandoned (in the best case), and murdered/tortured for magic practise... So sometimes the government group them in the same home, making them an easy target. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/10/131011-albino-killings-witch-doctors-tanzania-superstition/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponsa-Christi Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Wow. Incredible Sisters! They sort of remind me of a medieval Benedictine monastery, in the sense that they are so self-sufficient and do a variety of different hospitality-type apostolates.
