Miskitu village




Here's a few pictures from a Miskitu village about an hour or two down river from any road. They have a church, which is the only solid structure, other than the large row on latrines that the government built. Each family has one latrine, although from the looks of them, no one ever uses them. In the picture of the two kids - the oldest is 12, and pregnant. Her sister has a cleft lip and they daily drink polluted river water despite the wells the government installed in the village.
