Hotels-live.com - Photo taken by @stevemccurryofficial // The Omo River Valley is located in Southwest Ethiopia. It has been called “the last frontier” in Africa. There are nine main tribes that occupy the Omo River Valley with a population of approximately 225,000 tribal peoples. It was a privilege to photograph the efforts to end the practice of mingi and to house and shelter the mingi children who have already been rescued by Omo Child. Mingi is the ritualistic killing of infants and children who are mingi because they are considered impure or cursed. A child can be mingi for many reasons, but once they are mingi they are left alone in the desert without food and water or drowned in a river. #omochild #ethiopia @Hotelslive by natgeo instagram.com/p/r2lgOioVVX/ Follow #Instagram @Hotelspaschers instagram.com/hotelspaschers and @Voyageslive #Twitter #TeamFollowBack #Natgeo #Voyage #Travel #TFB #FollowTrick www.facebook.com/125048940862168/photos/a.801751693191886... via Hotels-live.com www.facebook.com/pages/p/125048940862168 #Retweet #TeamFollowBack #F4F #TityFollowTrain via http://flic.kr/p/ovHxYq
