Baga, The father in this image, is a remarkable man.
Two of his children are very ill, the little girl lying in his arms has suffered terrible side effects from Dengue, she has been left almost blind, and her heart has been damaged.
The little boy with the bald head suffers from water on the brain, or hydrocephalus and is in need of a very expensive operation to inset a shunt to drain the water away. Neither child is expected to reach adulthood.
But Baga explained these facts to me in a calm, accepting way. He spoke of how extraordinary his children are, and what they have bought to his life, and how he is determined not to miss a moment of their companionship.
Padman,(with his arm on his dad's shoulder) his older boy, is thankfully fit and strong. It was Padman, who sought me out, hearing there was a photographer visiting the settlement. Being photographed appears to a singular treat here, the thrill of seeing their image on the camera's screen second to none.
There is a lesson in Baga's attitude..few people in life could have it rougher than him, he has hardly anything in the way of material posessions, two of his children are not expected to live, and his wife only just cheated death from the dengue outbreak herself, and was still to weak to speak with me. But Baga relentlessly focuses on the positive, dosen't lean on the bottle as so many might, but keeps his head clear so that his memories of his children may also be.
His last words to me as I left were 'Miss Laura...don't make my story a sad one...I am a happy and a blessed man'

I'm having a pretty cool time going through my photos from the big trip through South America in 2006. Was on JPG today and thought this fit one of their themes ('Street Style') pretty well - showing real people on the streets.
This one was taken in Cuba - I happened to be there at the height of a Dengue Fever outbreak, and it was also pretty damn hot. So people took refuge on the streets with icecreams to cool down.
If you like it, and feel like throwing a vote (and maybe even a comment!) my way on the site, it would be awesome.

This smoke at the bottom of the street is not from a fire. Rather some poor family's house is getting fumigated. Fumigation is mandatory in Cuba. Every house, apartment, office and place of work gets regularly fumigated. Official show up with ghost-busters-like machines and the the dwellings and fill it with white smoke until it's escaping through every crack.
We've had the displeasure of being guests and spending a the night in a couple of home that have recently been fumigated. The smell is unpleasant and, I suspect, not good for you. But hey, anything to fight the enemy, dengue fever, in this case.
