Luanda — Deputies of family, children and women promotion sub-commission of the National Assembly visited Thursday Kuzola Orphanage in Luanda with the main objective of providing comfort to the 22 children interned there accused of witchcraft.

These children, who received from the MPs encouragement and message of solidarity, are part of a total of forty children rescued in the previous week under the control of two alleged religious sects.

The parliamentarians kept the contacts with the rest of the children accommodated in the institution and learnt on several problems facing the orphanage.

According to the director of the centre, sister Elsa Ninfa Marques Acosta, the centre has shortage of psychologists, social educators, baby's sitters, cleaners and proper accommodation.

The orphanage, with a capacity of 120 places, has at the moment about 350 children, without any psychological care, and it makes difficult the educator's work, due to deep traumatic level they suffer.
