Mongolian Girl
About half of the population of Mongolia lives a nomadic lifestyle without plumbing or electricity. Although many live at or below the poverty level, they never complain or beg for assistance - they are too proud of their culture, history, and nation. Most children are able to go to school, and most families are able to sustain themselves from the land and livestock. They want nothing more than to raise their children in the best possible environment, and work hard to live the best life they can.

TB in the Global Community
SocialDocumentary.net has posted an amazing photo essay entitled EPIDEMIC: TB in the Global Community by David Rochkind.
The WHO estimates that one third of the world’s population is infected with the bacteria that can cause TB and that nearly 1.8 million people die from the disease every year.
The photos are also being used as part of an educational project about TB at tbepidemic.org
