A portrait of Lekoko, a young Maasai, one day before he started secondary school. He was forced to cut his hair and discard all his traditional adornments but because he was a very vain young man, this was difficult for him. Copyright Angela Drysdale

I don't think it was vanity that made it difficult. Was it vanity that disgruntled a young Native American when he was forced to become a Catholic Characiture? You have a wonderful TalentArmando Salas 18 Oct 2004
