![Nyawon (right), 28 and a foster mom, fills her water jugs at the communal pump nearby her temporary home at the Tierkidi Refugee Camp on 21 November 2014. ; Nyawon has taken in five abandoned children that fled the civil war South Sudan to this refugee camp in Tierkidi, Ethiopia, while she searches in vain through friends of friends contacts for her own three children that she hopes are in other camps in Uganda or Kenya. "I miss my phone. I had one in South Sudan but I sold everything I had to get here. If I had a phone, I could call and see if my children were alive. I go to collect firewood to sell and with the money I make [$2.50 every three weeks], I buy a phone card. I have to beg to use people's phones and some won't lend it, others hurry me and the line cuts or the money runs out without me getting anywhere. If I had one, I could take my time. I miss my job at home as it meant I could buy my children everything. I can't buy these children anything. We just have the clothes on our bodies. These children don't know where their parents are. I try to comfort them with the hope that they will find their parents again like I will my children."](https://impakter.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/rf21093_60326-1-1.jpg)
