Sadness

view map

...and a few comments about Debark. Potentially, the "poorest" (in the western sense of the word)
part, town, section, area of the world I have ever seen. Ashame really, it doesn't have to be. The
town is basically the staging area for any treks or climbs in the Simien mountains...it's just
that though, a staging point, someplace in between other, more interesting places.
There is money there, but it doesn't get to most of the people. This kid was bad off. Not healthy and not in any way going to get
any kind of medical help. I also have a photo of him in his house with his family (hit the "next" button).

Taken in Debark, Ethiopia.

Also from Debark:
