I never get tired of this view, even after eight hours in a car! South Kivu, DRC on the road to Chambucha.
I love the diversity of cows around the world!

By the way, what kind of infection is causing the puffiness in the children?
'Drea - Thanks for your comment. Glad you like the photos.
The swelling is causes from severe malnutrition that is called marasmus. Marasmus involves inadequate intake of protein and calories.
Children may be affected by micronutrient deficiencies, which also have a detrimental effect on growth and development.
Malnutrition affects every organ of the body, and can be seen visibly when skin starts to wither away and deteriorate.
I didn't include the saddest and worst cases I saw on that day, as I didn't know if people could hack it. I included the couple of shots just to educate a bit about the effects of malnutrition and remind people of how lucky they are.
Best,
Miel
