EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Pedro Pardo from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are presented with a glimpse into the challenging reality faced by the Santiago family in San Miguel Amoltepec Viejo, Guerrero state, Mexico. Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, a young boy belonging to this indigenous family is seen being homeschooled on September 8,2020. Despite living in an impoverished region and grappling with limited resources, teachers in this community have displayed unwavering dedication towards their students. They refuse to abandon them amidst these trying times. This image serves as a testament to their resilience and commitment. The photograph encapsulates both hope and struggle simultaneously. The determination etched on the face of the young student reflects his eagerness to learn despite adverse circumstances. It also sheds light on how education has become even more crucial during this global health crisis. This poignant snapshot compels us to reflect upon the disparities that exist within our societies and highlights how marginalized communities are disproportionately affected by such crises. It urges us not only to acknowledge these challenges but also emphasizes the importance of collective action in addressing them. Pedro Pardo's composition captures a moment that speaks volumes about perseverance, resilience, and solidarity within an indigenous community battling against poverty amid a pandemic-stricken world.
