A young girl sucks on a mango, representative of all that is fresh and healthy of this area. As the elder ladies stare out across the lake, the anguished strain of a new mother is obvious as she considers her child's future.

The steely stare of a small boy showed me the determined mindset that people in such places must develop young to make a good lidfee for themselves. This boy's resolve, not even stopping for the camera and the man in his wake, looks so determined to play with his makeshift football, even without shoes, that I feel he is staring through my lens and into the future. Maybe one day he will attend the school and use a manufactured football.
