Safeguard

Last years January I went to South of Ethiopia , I visited many tribes of Omo valley ,one of them is Suri or Surma tribe which lives on the south western side along the border of South Sudan, Here many young boys are kidnapped or kill so I photographed many young boys with Meaning "protection" This photo is portrait of a young Suri boy surrounded with women's hand,I would like this photo means something and name this one "safeguard".
