Première mission pour l’Unicef, dans un quartier chaud de la capital – San José,

1er jour, accompagné de 2 policiers, leur gilet pare-balle, leur pistolet et leur regard avisé, ainsi que de Michael, représentant local de l’Unicef (que je remercie d’ailleurs pour son dévouement & professionnalisme), on arpente les rues à la recherche de l’étincelle d’innocence & de gaieté dans le regard des enfants.

2ème jour, événement co-organisé par l’Unicef & une ONG local, ayant pour but la prévention de la violence.

    Great work Maud! Really good pictures, capturing joy in the eyes of children in an extremely vulnerable area. Your support and work will do wonders here, as well on the rest of your travles! Can’t wait to see what you do when you get to the caribbean side of Costa Rica and see a whole other situation! Thanks again!
