The first photo was taken on a trip to Hampi, a site of religious ruins from the Vijayanagar Empire. It was taken inside of the Virupaksha temple during a ceremony for Shiva. This woman was sitting with her children lighting candles and chanting.
The second photo shows a Muslim woman dyeing fabric in a textile factory outside of Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, Northern India. This woman was in the process of washing the dyed fabrics so that they could be set out to dry. Fields were covered in recently dyed fabrics that were lying in the afternoon sun to dry. 
The second photo is of the Indigenous Embera tribe of Panama.
The first photo was taken by Kristy Mulcrone in October on a service learning trip to visit a desert village community outside of Jaisalmer. These men were collecting precious water to give to their goat herd.

Second Photo: Statue of the Goddess Abrakabackpack. Photographer: Alicia White. Date: October 2007. This is a beautiful statue I found in Taiwan during CRC. We couldn't pronounce her name in Chinese, though we tried, so we ended up dubbing her Goddess Abrakabackpack- I'm not sure why, but such is the lunacy CRC induces in otherwise earnest world citizens!

Photo one: Mantis. I spotted a mantis sitting on a tropical flower in the Tirimbina rainforest reserve, Costa Rica, where our class was on an educational hike. I had no idea what the creature was until a few hours later, when the photo allowed me to look at it in detail. 
Photo two: Banana Worker. On the trip to Sarapiqui in Costa Rica we took a tour of the Dole banana plantation. Our tour included seeing how the plant is harvested. I found it interesting that during the tour people were not working in the fields, except for the man who came to cut bananas to show us.
The first photo was taken in Suzhou, China. The second was taken in Suichang, China in a room full of Chinese people feeding us warm sweet potatoes and smoking cigarettes.
