    There are [5] photos from Brazil

    A powerful sense of community is at the centre of Jurujuba, evident through this celebration of a young girl’s birthday. Views[740] Friends as well as co-workers, these men gather for a beer by the ocean’s edge, taking a break from their daily work in Jurujuba – preparing freshly-caught mussels for sale to local restaurants. Views[976] Even the children of Jurujuba have their own role in the heritage of this fishing village. This young boy’s job of the day consists of carting the long, tangled netting from one end of the village to the other. Views[1501] Repair of the seemingly endless netting requires nimble fingers and tireless precision; this fisherman has perfected these skills through decades of work in the village. Views[1003] A young Jurujuba fisherman sets to the long and labourous task of repairing his fishnets. On the day that US President Barack Obama first visited Brazil, talk among this fisherman and his peers was focused mainly upon their fear that their country’s resources would be taken at unfair value.
