The orphanages are crowded, there is little work, corruption is rife and the distribution of wealth grossly uneven and that these kids have only appalling half-way houses to go to after they reach the age of 18. Monica is lucky she still has one parent around to help her and is bright so has managed to finish her degree. For Christian things are not so easy, he has never had the support or love of a family, is hardened by his life experience, rough around the edges, but nonetheless is trying to make his way with manual skills and a ferocious curiosity about the world. They will both be fine. It is a fact of life.

And this is a good thing? ;)
