His family went to the capital San Salvador to visit some speeches by the candidates for the presidential elections. They came back with a lot of promotional material given by supporters of the current president from the Arena party.

Angel was so happy with his new shirt and hat that he was finally willing to pose for a picture. I posted him before the same wall as 3,5 years earlier…

A while ago Angel fell out of a tree and broke his left upper arm and wrist. Unfortunately they could not go to a hospital and so they had to fix it themselves. Despite the bend in his upper arm he can use it and it still improves.

The full series (of which this is just a part), “People Of The Klein Karoo,” took over 3 years to complete. All the photos were taken right next door to where Jill lived, near the little town of De Rust in the Western Cape of South Africa.  Most of the people in the series are farm workers and their families on Rooi Rivier Plaas (Red River Farm).
