Moçambique

This photo-essay depicts the work and daily life of seven Brazilian volunteers of Doctors Without Borders, an international humanitarian organization. It also portrays the evils faced by Mozambique, an impoverished African country who suffers from high HIV contamination levels. The lives of these doctors and healthcare professionals are a touching example of obstinacy, solidarity and hope.
