A Photographick Look At Poverty

This picture really shocks me. I feel so sorry for these people in Pakistan. It is a cold evening in January and these people are trying to get warm. They have to keep theri tent open so the fire gets oxygen, but since their tent is open they will be cold.

This picture was taken in Dungu, which is in northeastern Congo. A fourteen month old baby is hurt badly after his mother fled when the village was attacked by Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army rebels.

This is Faustin Mugisa, who is 8 years old. He is a war orpahan and has machete scars on his head and body. He is standing at Kizito orphanage in Bunia in northeastern Congo. He was left for dead in a pile of corpses when ethnic Lendu militiamen hacked to death his mother and seven siblings in 2003. Mugisa's father discovered him alive and took him to the bush to recover, but his father was later hacked to death by the same militia group. He seems very sad. He looks so hopeless and has a very tragic expression on his face. It seems like his life is never going to be full of joy again.
