This is a picture from my third trip
to Peru.
The first and second one I spent in
Lima and in Huaraz.
Huaraz is in the Andes and the
hotspot of adventure and mountain tourism in Peru.
It is an incredibly beautiful place
but in many sense, much wealthier than Peru in general.
In Lima I visited the colonial center
and slept in a not-well-to-do neighborhood that the taxi drivers were afraid.
But still, it really wasn't that
poor.
The second time we went by car to
the northern part of Peru that is mostly desert.
And poor.
It is different to drive around
because you get to see things that you wouldn't see on foot, or traveling by
bus, or if you were in a tourist group.
It is hard to get by if you don't
have water.
The plants die without water, the
animals die without water, and finally, the people die without water.
This is a house in one of the little
villages in the skirts of the Andes in the Northern-Peru.
The quote is to remember the people.
And every day try to make decisions
that will ensure equality and better distribution of wealth in the world.
It may be little, but it is the best
I can do.
And the least they deserve.
