In this picture, I was trying to convey a sense of closeness and intimacy with the shoes. I had a more shallow depth of field to make the shoes in focus and the background out of focus. I also really liked the contrast of the shoes with the brown wood of the bridge.

Facing Bricks:

Mory is just 2 years old, but this little boy is already facing a huge battle: the fight against acute malnutrition.
Mory is a sweet, cheerful, playful child, but sometimes he is tired and has difficulty moving. His arms are weak, his hair falls out easily, and his face is covered with skin lesions. Mory, 2 years old, suffers from acute malnutrition and weighs only 8 kilos, when he should be around a dozen kilos for his age and height. Like him, some 350,000 children in Guinea suffer from acute malnutrition.
Mory is the youngest of nine children. His mother says that shortly after the birth of her last son, doctors noticed that he was sick. She was in poor health herself and did not have enough milk to feed her child properly. She received food aid to help her recover and to fortify her milk. Unfortunately, Mory's health did not improve. My child was always feverish, hot, wouldn't eat and was very tired. I live in Siguiri, but the treatments there didn't help my son, so I came to Conakry to ask my sister for help, and she referred me to the Saint Gabriel Health Center.
To regain his weight, Mory has to eat Ready-to-Eat Therapeutic Food (RTEF) several times a day. This easy-to-eat product, made from peanuts and milk, is rich in vitamins, minerals, lipids and proteins and is a lifesaver for children. For a child under the age of 5 to regain a normal weight, treatment with RUTF takes an average of 6 to 10 weeks.
Pierre, head of the nutrition department at Dispensaire Saint Gabriel, explains that when Mory was first seen, his weight, height, and brachial circumference showed that he was suffering from severe acute malnutrition. "All children under the age of 5 go through the nutrition department. We monitor their weight, height and immunizations, check for edema, talk to mothers about child nutrition, and discuss exclusive breastfeeding and the importance of dietary diversification. We do a lot of preventive work to prevent malnutrition. Every month, we identify 30 to 40 malnourished children in our department. In Guinea, there's poverty and a lack of information about food that encourages malnutrition. "
By 2023, an estimated 750,000 children in Guinea will be stunted. This is due to a number of factors, including a lack of knowledge about good nutritional practices for children, and the weight of tradition combined with low household purchasing power, resulting in little or no diversification of the family diet. Adults and young children are exposed to the same diet, which is often monotonous and low in nutrients, leading to malnutrition in children. This type of diet also reduces parents' ability to fight childhood diseases. In Guinea, only 4.2% of children between the ages of 6 and 23 months receive a minimum acceptable diet.
UNICEF is committed to the prevention of malnutrition and the early detection of cases of severe acute malnutrition to prevent situations like Mory's from recurring. Recognizing that women are an important resource in the fight against malnutrition, UNICEF supports 800 women's groups throughout the country. Through community dialogue, women are trained to prepare nutritious, local foods appropriate for the child's age and to use the brachial perimeter, which helps detect malnutrition at an early stage. UNICEF would like to thank the Government of Japan for its support in the field of nutrition, and in particular in the care of malnourished children in Guinea.
