Children clean up after lunch in the cafeteria of the Gymnasia-Internat Number 2 boarding school and orphanage in Chisinau, Moldova on 28 May 2009. The school has over 500 children living on the campus. Around 80% are social orphans -- children whose parents are still alive, but were turned over to institutional care by the parents.
