A man walks past the Facebook Cafe in downtown Tunis, Tunisia. The inside is decorated with Facebook logos and blue lights, and the back wall looks like a giant Facebook profile, with the barista standing where the profile photo would go. Young people like to hang out here (with their laptops). April 2013. Photo by @lindsay_mackenzie #tunisia #facebook #cafe #tunis

Beautiful Camilla, 8, followed us around the crowded Meshenti Market under the hot sun smiling for photos while ensuring we werent overcharged for oranges. When we gave her pens and a notebook she apologized that we spent any money on her. Her only request, a photo with her and her grandmother. Bahir dar, Ethiopia.
