    • Caption Inmates of the Maula Prison sleep on the floor. They are so tightly packed that they turn over only when a designated prisoner wakes them to do so en masse. Malawi prisons do not have a bad human rights record, but are overcrowded as many of those incarcerated have been on remand for several years as a result of a lack of financial and legal resources. The nation's 12 million citizens have 28 legal-aid attorneys and eight prosecutors with law degrees among them. The situation is repeated across the continent in countries where judicial systems are under-financed and understaffed.

    • Caption Mallam Galadima Ahamadu with the hyena Jamis. Mallam is part of a troupe that travels around northern Nigeria with three hyenas, two rock pythons and four monkeys. They work as entertainers and sell the fetishes and herbal medicines that are much in demand. The hyenas are trained to mock-attack, which draws the crowds. The handlers capture the hyenas from caves in the wild, subduing them with traditional potions, then subjecting them to up to two months training. The creatures are then taught to interact with humans and other animals without attacking them. Mallam and his colleagues feed the hyenas a goat every three days or so, which also helps to keep them calm, and sprinkle water on them as they dislike excessive heat.

    • Place Alexandra Township
    • Caption A young dancer exercises at the barre during a ballet class. Dance mistress Penny Thloloe runs classes not only for the children's enjoyment, but also in the hope that ballet might provide a ticket out of the township for some of her students, as it did once for her. In the apartheid years Penny got the chance to study ballet at a semi-private school, won a scholarship to London and was later a founder dancer in the Ballet Theatre Afrikan. Alexandra has over 60 percent unemployment and many of its children orphaned by Aids. Penny had to go to some lengths to explain that classes were entirely free of charge and that some students might go on to earn money by dancing. Over 1,000 children came to her first audition, of which 37 were selected to begin classes in January.

    • Caption A fishing boat lies in the middle of a rice paddy some six kilometers from the coast, near Banda Aceh, weeks after the December 2004 tsunami struck the region. Fishing was an important part of local economies throughout the affected region and many had their means of livelihood destroyed. Not only were boats wrecked, but marine fish stocks were depleted. Millions of fish were swept ashore by the wave and others were unable to survive in an ocean where the ecosystem had been severely disrupted.
