"Living on a Dollar a Day: The Lives and Faces of the World's Poor"

Known as "Little Cowboys," in their Ghanaian village Tibetob Gmafu, 5, left, Bidimei Gmafu, 5, center, Dawuni Bisun, 7, upper right, and Ninankor Gmafu, 6, below, seek cover from the rain as they keep a watchful eye on cows they were herding. The children say they are not allowed to bring the cows home in bad weather for fear that they will be beaten. They live in fear of a snake-bite after their father was blinded by a snake and a brother died. They say they have beaten to death three snakes this past year. They all wish they could go to school instead of working every day herding the animals in their village in the Volta region of northern Ghana.
