		<description><![CDATA[I am in the midst of sorting out some images taken over the last few years and just thought I would share these portraits of school children at the Marol Academy in Luonyaker, South Sudan, taken in 2010. Very simple images, but I love them. None of the children had ever had their portrait taken [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, huge numbers of people in southern Sudan will vote in a referendum to decide the future of their country. The vote is expected to result in the country being split in two, with the Christian-dominated south becoming an independent state, free from control by the Muslim north. The referendum was promised to the people [...]]]></description>
