Y a plus de mots , plus de raisons, rien ny fait ! ni la douleur , ni la peine , et encore moins les images ! face a l ' indifférence on se meurt ! gardons les Pieds les sur terre , dois t 'on arriver au revolver sous le lit et la veste militaire sous le pull gris comme dirait cabrel , trop de méfiance dans l ' humanité ! trop de mots trop de promesses et rien ne change ! juste de l ' indifférence ! bravo à toute l ' équipe de magnum , je passe mes nuits a regarder vos images , chaque instant de ma vie je me dis , ca vaut la peine de donner , donner , aimer , donner , faire rever , et encore , car comme dirait gibran cet instant c est ta vie , et la vie des autres c est la notre , on est tous au milieu de ce magma , ce feu de la vie qui nous ronge , c est pas complique d ' aimer au final la vie passe vite a ce qu on dit !

ojala se pudiera hacer algo asi en venezuela, el pais está enfrentando una serie de enfermedades endémicas y los gobiernos gastan grandes sumas de dinero que nunca llegan a los más pobres, algo tan sencillo como es un mosquitero, a nadie se le ocurre que puede evitar la picada del mosquito patas blancas, todo se va en discursos y más habladeras sin llegar a lo fundamental. hemos retrocedido a niveles alarmantes en estos ultimos años y no se ve mejoras en la actuación de los politicos.

Very nice shot ! And thank for documenting such stories.

Perhaps mention in a follow-up that at present, Uganda's former health minister is in the dock on massive corruption charges...related to hiv/aids issues but if he stole from that pot....

Peter - the corruption doesn't surprise me at all. It seems to be an integral part of politics over there. Unfortunately it also seems unavoidable..
