Julien Pebrel: Dapaong: Orphans fo Aids (Togo)North of Togo Dapaong, the Association Living in Hope welcomes orphaned by AIDS, whether infected or not. Girls live separately from boys in a site called Sainte-Monique House. However, they are given the task of taking care of all boys they become “big sisters.” Here the girls take care of everything: kitchen, dishes, personal laundry and that the “little brother” of which they are responsible, not to mention school and homework. Mama Rita, only adult structure, watches over them …*what I really like about this photo essay is that it foregrounds a sense of community, quiet dignity and beauty of these people. All you see are lovely caring people, rather then everything being framed by pity or a dehumanizing gaze. -- source link
