Cibondobondo (Series)
DESCRIPTION
These photographs were taken during a trip in June 2016 to the Democratic Republic of Congo, as part of a cooperation project to publicize the recondite rural Cibondobondo in the Eastern Kasai.
During the weeks of cooperation I could portray the local people and their daily activities and, overall, their life.
Throughout the region it is a difficult task to find drinking water, so most people have to walk kilometers every day to get something so basic.
One of the places they usually go to is the river, where they have to be extremely cautious towards the constant threats of crocodiles.
A couple of days previous to my visit, some kids had been attacked by a crocodile while they were on their daily run for water, so they had some fishermen help them put up a fence in order to protect themselves.
