Life in Peril- Tanzanian Albino People

Watched by his brothers 2 year old Abuu has lip balm with SPF applied to his sensitive and sore lips. The intrigue with which they watch indicates that this is not routine. Poor education and lack of resources for sun protection resulted in blisters on Abuu's sensitive skin. I met Abuu and his mother Adja when they came to the Tanzanian Albino Society (TAS) office to get help. Seeing the baby's discomfort I was glad to at least have this tube of lip balm to give him some minor relief.
