Text on Pemba reads: 'Pemba had come to the little village of Trak Tok with her mother and sister to see the beautiful Shum Dance Festival on this sunny but bitterly cold Tex December day. She caught my eye in the crowd because of her look of fascination and total concentration on the dancers. She seemed to be transfixed during the entire ceremony in spite of the Constant cold wind.' Title on Dimicia reads: Dimicia's mother was instrumental in establishing a school in their small village. About the time Dimicia started first grade, her nine-year old brother began working as a porter on the Inca Trail. For less than three dollars a day, he carries some 40 pounds of camping equipment for tourists making the popular four-day hike to Machu Picchu.
