Adolfu Tukano (12yrs) marching with the school band in the afternoon when the sun is less strong. People with albinism have no pigmentation in their skin so are unprotected from the sun's UV rays. Unless they are very careful, skin cancer is an inevitability. Adolfu and his sister Juliana (10yrs) are the only children with albinism at their school. Lugolofu Primary School, Mufindi District, Tanzania. 2008 |
