    They are experts in the field of basket-weaving. In the most rural areas of Rwanda, you will often find that women congregate and practice their amazing skills with a needle. These talented women gather to talk about their families and at the same time create a piece of work that can later be sold or traded for different materials. Most often they sale baskets to tourists and people looking for a particularly colorful artifact from the very Rwandan soil and crops. by: cecihernandez Views[2457] If you look into her eyes, you don’t just see a woman whom is complying with her daily routine of walking miles to find some clean water. You don’t see fatigue and anguish. You don’t see brokenness and remorse. In fact, when you look into her eyes, you see Amahoro, and that means Peace. You find deep within, that not only is she a survivor of the 1994 genocide, she is also most joyous and willing. There’s something special about the Rwandan people, they are recovering from destruction and they find within themselves the ability to persevere and empower others to build a better life for the people around them. by: cecihernandez Views[1115] I am not sure that there is a better way to explain the ingenuity that occurs in some of the most rural places in Rwanda, Africa. It is incredible to see that people continue to inspire each other by creating their own past times and making memories all at once. by: cecihernandez Views[740] A counselor displays the
     
    In Xinjiang, it is not an uncommon sight to see men crowd around in small groups taking part in some kind of culinary sharing sessions. What I've noticed is that they were usually male dominated. As such, this young girl caught my immediate attention. She struck me as a non-conformist, someone who goes out of the way to satisfy her own curiosity and acquire more knowledge, even if it's unconventional. I find myself standing there, observing her learning intently, in absolute amazement. I wanted to give her a penny for her thought. by: priscilla_ong Views[781] I chanced upon this bunch of kids along the back streets of Yarkand (Xinjiang, Western China) participating in what seems to be the most popular childhood activity in town. It requires a deck of round cards and the players' ability to toss each card against the ground perpendicularly so that it would bounce back up and override the opponent's card. Watching them in complete indulgence makes me realize; that games and fun take form in the simplest possible way, and does not always have to involve the latest electronic gadgets. Sometimes, it doesn't even matter what we do, as long as we have the right company. by: priscilla_ong Views[1173] A peek into the life of a typical Uyghur family, in Xinjiang, Western China. It appears that bonding over a freshly sliced melon is an integral part of their culture. There is this great sense of intimacy that radiates from them, when you see them relishing the sweetness, in both the fruit as well as the kinship. by: priscilla_ong Views[1208] This is exactly how I was greeted on my first day of travel to Xinjiang, Western China. It was difficult to sit through the entire slaughter, although I must admit there is evidently an interest in the transitional process. It does make me look at my plate differently, and wish it has remained as a black box that mysteriously transforms animals into something edible. It's highly controversial; but something in the children's eyes tells me that the shocked look on my face must have been quite disturbing for them too. by: priscilla_ong Views[728] For a barista, it pays to make a good cup of coffee. This barista from the Blue Bottle Café at the Highline Park sure knows how to make the perfect cup. by: eyefortheworld Views[1234]
