reportage orphelinat ( enfant avec HIV )

une histoire bien triste d’enfants atteints du HIV et rejettés de l’école …

In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Mott visits a group of orphaned children who are HIV-positive and live at the Mai Hoa AIDS Center. When they tried to attend their local primary school they were rejected by the parents of the other children. Justin Mott works for The New York Times and an Oct. 15, 2009, Seth Mydans story covers this event. The piece is entitled, « Exiled From School, H.I.V.-Infected Orphans Learn a Bitter Lesson. » Apparently the principal at the primary school had agreed to accept the children but the parents of the other students removed them from school.
Mott, who had just a short time to cover radically different stories in Vietnam – the orphans and a golf course – also worries about how such time restraints affect him as a photographer.
