  • Tarahumara, Mexico

    The Tarahumara Amerindian people of the Barranca del Cobre in northwestern Mexico call themselves Raramuri, which means “those who have light feet”. For Esmeralda (9) and Patricia (10), their feet are their only means of transport. They negotiate canyons, steep trails, pine forests and barbed-wire fences to reach school.
