NOTES

Jinotega Province, Nicaragua. I went because I was interested in children who spent all of their formative years in a state of war. Most were quite resilient. The girl's mother lived next door to her sister. The girl's father was a Sandinista soldier, killed by the contras. Her aunt's husband was a contra, killed by the Sandinistas. The two women live next door to each other, as before. There were few changes in the town before and after the war. Just fewer men.

Chacabuco was an abandoned nitrate mining town in a remote area of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. After the 1973 military coup, Pinochet turned it into a concentration camp, which held up to 1,800 prisoners many of whom were doctors, lawyers, artists, writers, professors and workers. To this day, it remains surrounded by approximately 98 lost landmines, left by the Chilean military. Jinotega Province, Nicaragua.
