aid workers: Bakita says she likes her new mother, according to The Chronicle Herald. As for her two younger siblings, it is impossible to tell. The slender teenager would rather focus on the woman whom aid officials recently chose to raise her and her siblings on a small piece of earth in what has become the world's largest refugee settlement. One of the consequences of South Sudan's civil war has been the thousands of children fleeing without parents or guardians, without documentation, often with nothing but treasured possessions like a saucepan or a chicken. The children, referred to as unaccompanied minors, pose serious challenges for aid workers who quickly have to figure out what to do with them when they cross the border. It is a humbling sight, even for veteran aid workers who have seen it all. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
