Children in Malawi

Hi everyone! I arrived in Tanzania the day before yesterday. I first went to a border town (Mbeya), and since last night I’ve been in the capital, Dar es Salaam. It’s incredibly hot: sticky, intense heat like I haven’t experienced so far on this trip, and you can hardly walk through the streets. Anyway, I’ll tell you more next time.

So far, I have ended up with a lot of photos of children for various reasons:
Children are always beautiful, while adults are often ugly (of course I mean everywhere in the world, not just in Africa).
Children always smile, while adults often look as if they have just gone through great trouble (which, perhaps, is just the price we pay for growing up!).
Children are always happy to be photographed, not to mention the euphoria when they see the photo afterwards, while adults (especially men) often get annoyed or even ask for money, as if they were Brad Pitt... even though they are very far from be Brad Pitt!
Here is a selection:

Near Senga Bay, Malawi



In a village near Senga Bay. This is the village of the young man on the left, Oma. He was incredibly kind: I met him on a road near another small village after I asked him if I could venture inside. Without asking for anything in return, he took me to his village, about a half-hour walk from there, off the road and through the fields.
