Travel Photography Scholarship 2012 Herding in Lesotho

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Makalo, a young herdsman from Semonkong, Lesotho. He began herding when he was 7 years old. Young boys who are trained to become herdsman begin their training around age six instead of attending school in order to support their families. These young boys lose their chance at an education and the socialization of a normal childhood.
