A Day In the Life of Barracka and Nyemo

December 23, 2008 8:45 PM

The LiveJournal community A Day In My Life is a glimpse via photos into a life of posters around the world. Compare and contrast the routines and pastimes, more is similar than different. But posts by a volunteer at a center for the blind in Tanzania show something far more enriching. His photos document an average day in the life of two of the village's seven-year-olds: a boy, Barracka and a girl, Nyemo.

The captions on Barracka and Nyemo's pictures made me laugh and taught me something new! It's like an afterschool special in here.

A link to a single livejournal community would not normally excite me, but that one is fascinating. Thanks for posting.

I've spent way too much time going through these!! It's nice knowing some people still enjoy warm weather in December while I stare out my window at a couple of feet of snow!

I already knew about this community, and it is brilliant, but those last two links are something special indeed. Thank you!

This is definitely a "best of the web" post. Thanks!
