March 25, 2024 - Buenos Aires, Argentina: Woman at a local pub of Montserrat, one of the oldest areas of Buenos Aires. In the last government's Argentina, inequalities widened drastically due to severe cuts and austerity measures, to the point where even the International Monetary Fund (IMF) might be envious. The percentage of the population living at or below the poverty line rose to 57.4%, about 27 million citizens. The primary cause of this deterioration in living standards was the government's decision to devalue the peso, which, alongside other measures, deprived much of society of the ability to access basic goods. Public spending has been reduced by about a third, particularly in the areas of health, social security, and education. In the heart of Buenos Aires, hardship, poverty, exhaustion and despair are etched in the faces of ordinary people. (Maro Kouri/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS) -

March 18, 2024 - Iguazu, Argentina: A little Guaraní girl plays in the traditional M'bororé village of her tribe, near the Falls on the Brazilian side of Foz do Iguaçu National Park. The village of M'bororé is inhabited by the indigenous Guaraní, who once inhabited the vast expanses of the South American jungle, from the Amazon basin to nearly the mouth of the Paraná River. It is made up of various ethnic groups, united by a language of unique beauty, the cultivation of the land, and a worldview directly connected to the jungle. Their customs, fishing and hunting methods, legends, and language have survived to this day. In the last government's Argentina, inequalities widened drastically due to severe cuts and austerity measures. The percentage of the population living at or below the poverty line rose to 57.4%, about 27 million citizens.

The Indigenous people in Argentina, many of whom live in the northwest region of the country, have been treated as second-class citizens by their country for centuries.

Nepal Observs "Matatirtha Aunsi"- Nepali Mother's Day
A Nepali Hindu devotee takes a dip in the sacred Mata Tirtha pond located in a hill station on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal, on April 27, 2025, while observing Mata Tirtha Aunsi. Mata Tirtha Aunsi, a festival for mothers, falls in the Nepali first month Baisakh (end of April/early May) when thousands of devotees climb up the hill to reach the sacred pond and offer prayers. As a tradition, offspring wake up early in the morning, take a bath, and worship their mothers by giving presents and goodies. Those who do not have their mothers reach Matatirtha in Chandragiri Municipality to pay tribute to the departed souls of their mothers. Devotees, upon reaching the sacred Matatirtha pond, take a holy dip and observe the day by offering alms to the poor. According to the legends, during the rule of cowherds in Nepal, one of the cowherds loses his mother and is so depressed that he goes to make offerings at a water storage pond in the forest. Amazingly, he sees his mother's face appear in the water and accept his offerings. From that day on, this day is known as Mata Tirtha Aunsi, the Nepali Mother's Day. People believe that coming to this place and paying homage on this day brings peace to the departed soul of their mother. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto) -
