Lake Awassa fishing - Ethiopia
In the Rift Valley south of Addis Ababa fishermen scratch a living on the shores of Lake Awassa. Many are very young, possibly as young a ten. Dressed in tatty football shirts, their work involves mending nets in preparation for their next trip on the lake, filleting their catch of fish for buyers and making crude repairs to rough wooden boats that look barely seaworthy.
An abundance of storks patrol the muddy shoreline alert for scraps. Enterprising fishermen sell bags of fish guts unfit for human consumption to tourists to give the storks, sending them into a feeding frenzy.
