LA LIXEIRA (the dump) - the invisibles' dignity

Guido Galante, Antonio Notarangelo

Italy

Maputo, the capital city of Mozabimque, has one or may be two million inhabitants.

India

Of these cases, 93% of blindness and 96.2% is completely avoidable. But due to illiteracy, lack of awareness, and proper medical facilities these figures have never really changed. Many government initiatives have not managed to overcome this crisis.
