Boy Covered In Flies

For a second I thought he might be dead but he was only sleeping, One of the young boys I photographed back in Nov-Dec was laying in his family shack with flies all over his mouth and eyes. When he moved to brush them away, I knew he was still alive. I have seen flies here before but this was a whole other level. How can he live like this day to day? Made a video and took some photos but I think I failed to tell this poor child's story properly. This is the ugly, ugly part of the lives the families have here.
