Credit: (c) 2005 Todd Shapera, Courtesy of Photoshare
Caption: A sign near the village of Santa Barbara in the buffer zone of
Honduras' Pico Bonito National Park area promotes environmental
awareness with a warning message about the impact of
deforestation and a call to make a difference ("all together to
the forest's rescue"). The sign marks the area as a once-forest
destroyed by fire and timber clearing. It also notes that fire
and cutting contribute to the deterioration of the river's
volume, the purity of the atmosphere, and the ecologic balance.
Spanish text on the sign says, "Un bosque destruido, afectado por
el fuego y descombros. Deteriora el caudal de los rios, la pureza
del ambiente y el equilibrio ecologico. Todos juntos al rescate

- 292-17 Nairobi, Kenya
Credit: (c) 2005 Felix Masi/Saharapics, Courtesy of Photoshare
Caption: A small boy rummages through trash in Kibera, Africa's largest
slum in Nairobi, Kenya, where most people live below one dollar
per day. Youths depend on collecting debris from the Nairobi
River (a flowing sewer in this slum area), such as bottles and
bags, which they then hope to sell. Most of the homes are shacks,
and schools are built on the flowing, murky river. Residents have
no access to clean water and hence depend on the polluted river
for survival.

largest slum in Nairobi, Kenya, where most people live below one

- 292-87 Nairobi, Kenya
Credit: (c) 2003 Felix Masi/Saharapics, Courtesy of Photoshare
Caption: A "No Dumping" sign in the Kibera slums of Nairobi, Kenya is
nearly buried in a pile of trash. In the background, nursery
school children at an informal school play during break time. The
slum, with a population of over 800,000, has no room for
playgrounds. Houses are designed with little or no space between
them, much like a string of locomotive cars. School fees cost
only $5-$9 USD per year, but many of the residents are too poor
to afford them. Although the situation is improving, girls still
encounter more resistence to school attendance than do boys,
especially since the majority of household duties and childcare
fall on female shoulders. Yet the population is hard-working and
quite learned overall.

Caption: A young girl of Ehel Abeidalla, Mauritania, shows a sample of
water from her village's only source - a shallow well dug by
community members inside a dried-out riverbed. Villagers attempt
to improve the water's quality by filtering it through cloth, but
children suffer from parasites and diarrheal disease. At the time
of this photograph, Mauritania was in its third year of severe
drought, with crisis concentrated in the south-central
(Assaba)
region.

Caption: Ashaninca children in the isolated jungle community of Oviri,
along the Rio Tambo in Peru, receive food made by women in the
village. Many of these children are orphans. For the majority of
the children, this is the only meal they will get in a day.
The
Ashaninca are an indigenous people living in the Amazon Region.
This village is in a region where political violence in the 80s
and early 90s was the cause of the many orphans and widows, as
well as continuing insecurity and distrust.

the Visayas region of central Philippines. Garbage and poverty
are on the increase in the Philippines, partly because of their
rapid population increase.

Caption: A health worker counsels a woman on reproductive health and
family planning in the Visayas region of central Philippines. The
Philippines has the highest fertility rate in Asia, 3.7 children
per family, compared to less than 2 children in the US.
Their
population doubles every 20 years. Voluntary family planning
programs are allowing women and couples to plan the number of
children they want to have.

Caption: Five year-old Mfan'fikile Mkhanya, who lost both parents to AIDS,
sits at the cold hearth of the empty cooking hut at his
grandparents' homestead in Mavukutfu, Swaziland. Mfan'fikile (his
SiSwati name means "a boy has arrived") was befriended by the
writer and photographer Tjekisa James Hall, given the assignment
from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) to document the
lives of orphans and vulnerable children left behind by the AIDS
epidemic. Swaziland has the world's highest HIV prevalence rate,
with nearly 40% of adults infected. About 120,000 AIDS orphans
will exist by 2010, out of a national population of around one
million people. Two-thirds of Swazis live in chronic poverty, and
over a quarter of the population, including Mfan'fikile, survive
on food donations from international donor groups. AIDS has
worsened food shortages by cutting into the agricultural work
force, including this boy's father, who worked the family's small
farm.

Caption: These children in Togo, who are participating in an agroforestry
project, don't realize that these trees are being planted so they
can have a better life. Wood in Togo is used for construction and
cooking. It also prevents erosion of soil, landslides, and
flooding. The trees that the children are holding are
nitrogen-
fixing trees that will enrich the soil in their fields and give
them better crop yields.

social career volunteers.

Caption: A child of Kalingalinga Compound in Lusaka, Zambia crushes stones
to contribute for the portage and school requirements. There are
two dangers in his work: the risk of environmental degradation
due to the mining of these stones (if there is any oil spilage,
under ground water could be contaminated) and the risk of eye
infection due to lack of eye protection.
