There are many different cultures all over the world, full of different traditions and ways of living. A photographer named Bruno Pedro travels the world to show these differences between the cultures in our world; however, this time he decided to focus on the beauty of his own country—Mozambique, a southern African nation, whose capital is Maputo. About 30 million people are living there as of right now. Bruno set a goal of showing how bright and beautiful they are. That there aren't only landmarks, natural resources, and nature there, but unique and joyful people.

The photographer captured the people of Mozambique and their daily lives. In these photos, we can see smiling and happy people. They are enjoying their lives and spreading positive energy that we can feel even through the photographs... which is what we all need during these hard and difficult times.

    Poor kids, already have skin conditions. Albino children shouldn't go out without proper hats and clothes. They can't even look at the camera with all that sun in their eyes.

    There's a charity in one of the African countries where they are in danger, which takes them to a great orphanage and gives them sunglasses. You wouldn't believe the effort needed to buy a few pairs of cheap plastic glasses. Many do end up blind without prevention or proper care. Things we tend to take for granted...

    The white paste is called mussiro and is extracted from a native plant. It was traditionally worn by women to display their virgin status and marriagability. It is now worn as a beauty mask. (Probably works as sunscreen, too.). The part of Mozambique where these photos were taken is called the "land of beautiful women".

    It's called "msindzano/msindanu", it a a sandalwood paste. Common in some Indian ocean islands, Comoria and Mozambique. Sandalwood is known to be really good for the skin, it is used in cosmetics worldwide. It protect the skin and is a beauty mask. On some occasions like marriage it is used as a skin jewel with pretty drawings (like henna).
