Exploding with silliness.
Littleg girl in nagua (traditional dress)

I met this little girl and her 2 sisters along a mountain road near Boquette Panama. She was full of energy and acting silly as 5 year olds often do. She is a member of the Ngobe Bugle indegenous group in Panama. At 190,000 they are the largest of Panama's seven indegenous groups. They live in small huts made of straw with dirt floors. Their lives are difficult with many unmet needs of nutrition, health care, education and source of livlihood. They often migrate to other parts of Panama to pick coffe.
