SOUNDBITES OF MOISÉS CATEDRAL, LAWYER AND VOLUNTEER:"Most families are in economic need because all of a sudden the children become orphans since their mothers are killed and they also lose their father when he is the murder. Uncles or grandparents, the ones who normally take care of them, suddenly have four, five minors to raise, apart from those who they already had. Or, in case they didn't have children before, when the mother has died they are forced to take full responsibility of these children."
