ITALY PHOTO

In one of these photos we can see Mariona and me in front of the Colosseum in Rome and in the other we see Aina and me at the top of the dome of Florence. This was a very good day in Florence and Rome.

A PRIZE-WINNING PHOTO

MIRACLE VILLAGE
Sofia Valiente


DESCRIPTION:
12 January 2014
Pahokee, Florida, USA
Richard plays basketball at Miracle Village.
Miracle Village, on the southeast corner of Lake Okeechobee in South Florida, in the midst of sugarcane fields and five miles from the nearest town, houses a community of 100 sex offenders. It was set up by an evangelical pastor, Dick Witherow, as a sanctuary for people he terms ‘modern-day lepers’—subject to lifelong restrictions on their movements, which often leave them few options of where to live. Residents of Miracle Village include people sentenced for offences such as the possession of child pornography, and a man who at the age of 18 had sex with his 16-year-old girlfriend. Many are tagged with ankle monitors, must obey a nighttime curfew, and cannot own a laptop or mobile phone.

Miracle Village , a l'extrem sud-est de l'estany de Okeechobee al sud de Florida, al bell vitg de camps de canya de sucre a cinc milles de la ciutat mes propera, alberga una comunitat de 100 delincuents sexuals. Va ser fundada per un pastor evangèlic, Dick Witherow, com a santuari per persones que ell anomena " leprosos moderns"- subjectes a restriccions de per vida, que sovint els deixen poques opcions on viure. Els residents de Miracle Village inclouen persones condemnades per delictes com possessió de pornografia infantil, i un home que quan tenia 18 anys va fer sexe amb la seva novia de 16 anys. Molts identificats amb una polsera al turmell, han d'obeir un toc de queda nocturn, i no poden tenir ni portàtil ni movil.
