Taking Stock:
A community volunteer involved in food preparation for the school nutrition programme, wipes a plate with dishwashing detergent. She eagerly smiled and asked me to take her picture but stopped smiling as soon as I raised the camera. The combination of the barbed wire fence and the badge pinned on her dress reminded me of a scene in a military camp, which was in line with the rigidly ordered way she approached her cooking tasks.
