Into the Fire

Into the Fire_476x268

This picture was submitted by Anna Nersesyan, a graduate student in the Anthropology Department.

How the photo relates to the theme of 'risk':

"A young boy in the small town of Beaufort West in South Africa lives on a dumping site with his entire extended family. He scours the rubbish everyday, even risking to venture towards the noxious fumes from burning waste, to glean useful tidbits of food and clothing for his family."
