On sabbatical in Kenya, Hanne and Ted have a life-changing encounter with a begging grandmother who leads them into Lenana slum where her daughter and baby grand daughter, Sarova, lie dying of AIDS in a shack. On the same day, they are introduced to Mr. Kilonzi, a kind slum dweller who is attempting to feed and care for roughly 20 AIDS affected orphaned toddlers through his organization, Lenana Slum Orphans (LSO).
