  • Lalita Kamble, 50, is photographed in the doorway of her home with her niece near Darwad, India.  Kamble went blind at a young age "I wished I could get married but I knew no man would marry because of my blindness," she says. Through a dairy program, Kamble now takes care of a water buffalo and makes some income from the sale of its milk.  Life for a visually impaired girls in India is far more difficult than that of their male counterparts. While a visually impaired girl can only marry a visually impaired boy, it is considered acceptable for visually impaired boys to marry sighted girls.

  • Male chimp, Rambo, is photographed at the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Lake Victoria, Uganda.  Rambo was confiscated in an abnormal state, with a rash that would often result in accumulation of dead skin on the hands. Rambo is social and had no problem associating with his surrogate mother and any other visitor during his initial time in the quarantine at UWEC.<br />
On arrival at Ngamba Island he directly integrated so well with the likes of Nani, Nakuu, Nkuumwa and later the adult females. Although he is not afraid of the big- boys (Tumbo, Maisko and Sunday) he has great reservation and always keeps close to an adult female. 03/15/ Julia Cumes/IFAW

  • A woman begs at the entrance of the Yellamma Temple in Saundatti, India. Despite rapid economic growth, many women in India have few educational or employment opportunities. Families are far less likely to educate girls than boys, and far more likely to pull them out of school, either to help out at home or from fear of violence.

  • Koh Lanta, Thailand--Two boys show each other the trasures they've found in the debris after a Tsunami destroyed their village of Hua Laem on the island of Koh Lanta in Southern Thailand.  While children approached the slow clean-up process as though is were a treasure hunt, their parents had to deal with the reality of having lost most of their worldly posessions along with their homes and fishing boats. 01/18/05 © Julia Cumes / The Image Works

  • I photographed Umetesi in Kigali, Rwanda, where every afternoon she watched with wide eyes as I taught photography to older children, mostly boys. Despite the fact that Rwanda has one of the highest literacy rates for girls in Africa, families still tend to spend available funds on the education of boys, have expectations that girls will provide the care for younger siblings and do the household chores and that they will marry young.  My hope is that next year when I return to Rwanda, Umetesi will be the one holding a camera, not called away for chores or believing she should watch from the corner.

  • Koh Lanta, Thailand--Two boys play "Tsunami Tsunami" in a ditch in their village of Hua Laem on Koh Lanta island, Thailand, after the Tsunami destroyed most of the village's longtails fishing boats and many of its homes.  Research shows that children often express their trauma through play by reenacting the experience that traumatized them.  By playing "Tsunami Tsunami" these children are showing in all likelihood signs of post traumatic stress disorder.  © Julia Cumes / The Image Workss

  • I photographed Umetesi in Kigali, Rwanda, at the "Through the Eyes of Hope" program where every afternoon she watched with wide eyes as I taught photography to older children, mostly boys. While Rwanda has one of the highest literacy rates for girls and women in Africa, Umetesi still confronts some of the issues girls struggle with all over Africa--the tendency of poor families to spend available money on the education of boys, the expectation that girls will carry out domestic and household work and the pressure for girls to marry young, particularly where they are seen as an economic burden on families.

  • Matthew Blackburn plays with his hamster outside his home in Sandringham, South Africa.  Looking out the window behind him is his older brother, Stuart.  Matthew lives with his parents and two brothers in a predominantly white suburb of Johannesburg.  Matthew's mother, Trish, is an assistant accountant and his father, Chris, is a retauranteur currently between jobs.  The Blackburn boys attend the same government school their mother attended as a child except that the school is now predominantly black rather than all-white.  Because of the racial mix of the school, most of Matthew's friends are black.  ?Our kids are growing up in a totally different South Africa,? says Chris Blackburn.
