One of the "Whipping Girls" of Naqa.
Original Title: Evil
OK...this is a precious little girl who definitely is not evil. She is innocent and probably works harder in any day of her life than I ever have in my life.
She is definitely underprivileged and has a childhood that would be most of our worst nightmares. She lives in one of the harshest climates, areas and deserts of the world.
One thing is for sure, she is tough. Tougher than most of the people on earth probably...
Her job is too keep the flocks of sheep together and drive the donkeys up and down the "line" to pull water out of the well.
She was malnourished, mean tempered, carried a whip and didn't like photographs. She reminded me of little red riding hood, in some alter universe, where red was queen and all powerful.
That goat behind her...it didn't make it far...
All this in what...a ten year old girl???
Impressive

Taken by the well at Naqa, Sudan.
