Idriss Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

It's typical to see little toddlers fetch water from their community water source several times a day. I doubt these little kids are doing it for fun. It is disheartening to see them perform physical acts of labour when most of us (Westerners), see kids in our neighborhood's as small as this child who are still being carried in a stroller.

This photo is taken in Moulay Idriss, the first town to embrace Islam under the ruling of Idriss I. Thus, the name of this photo.
