f rom the page: "Rufo, age 7, Yabelo, Ethiopia I first noticed Rufo as she was walking to school with her sister. Like most Boran girls, she spends her days collecting water and firewood and helping her mother cook. Her labor plays a vital role in her family's survival. Recently, a school was opened in her territory. Since Rufo's mother could only spare the labor of one her seven children, she chose Rufo's sister, Loco, to get an education. As the sisters approached the school room, Rufo dropped back as she watched Loco go in. She paused, slowly turned, and walked home to begin her daily chores."

when you look at the picture of the little girl, you see both hope and despair... the little girls eyes shine with joy... her clothes and the knowlege that money for this education might cease if anything happens to the mother could lead to despair.

This photographer has some amazing, humanistic photos on his website and the notes he makes about the lives of each of these individuals are very amazing. In reading this girl's story, I learned of a woman who lives across the world and yet, like me, struggles to raise children on her own... although with much more limited resources. Very humbling to me.

"Agino, age 27, Mursi Hills, Ethiopia. Agino, a Mursi warrior, was adamant about wanting a Polaroid of himself. However, when I pointed the camera at him, he immediately looked down. I later learned that the Mursi believe that looking directly into the lens can cause blindness. Although unauthorized fighting within the Mursi tribe is a taboo, warriors who kill an enemy are accorded great status. Each curved scar on Agino's arm represents an enemy killed." Merci Ketogah.

Tenzin Gyatso, age 59, Dharamsala, India Born to a peasant family, he was discovered to be the reincarnation of the Buddha of Compassion at the age of two. At four he was installed as the 14th Dalai Lama and then as a teenager he faced the invasion of his country. Eight years later he was forced to flee to neighboring India. For consistently advocating the policy of non-violence and compassion in response to the aggression that has befallen his country, he was awarded the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize.
