In a Jarais village in Ratanakiri, Cambodia, this mother waited patiently with her three children to receive medical supplies. The average age of pregnancy is 15, and families have many children. The population is kept in check due to their short life-expectancy (50 is rather old).
At the same Jarais village, a group huddled around a morning fire to smoke, eat and talk.
