Title: Untitled
Location: Cuzco, Peru
Submitted by Elizabeth Buschkemper

Description:
"
I didn’t need or want the hand knit woolen socks this woman was so persistently, almost desperately, trying to sell, but I was curious why her new baby had coca leaves stuck on his forehead. She explained he was very sick, and hoped these herbal plasters would help as she couldn’t afford a doctor or medicine. I touched the baby’s skin… burning hot… and then I bought a dozen socks. The next day I returned. Mom showed me a bottle of Amoxicillin and gave me another pair of socks. The baby gave me a smile."
