Pirelli

view map

...gotta admit, you see some really off the wall shirts in Africa.
No, not a laughing matter because these kids can't afford to be
selective when it comes to clothes, but, wandering around Africa,
coming across a Philadelphia Eagles jersey in, say Ile de Goree.
An Outer Banks, NC shirt in the middle of Sudan three days drive
from, well, anything. An MSN shirt in Nigeria. It just cracks you
up, which is good, because otherwise you would be crying the whole
time looking at the children. This guy, well, he's probably never
seen a car before and has no idea what Pirelli is, but thats one of
the beauties of Africa. Doesn't matter what you wear, if anything. It
just doesn't matter much to people there ...it's just material.

For more pics of kids in the village see Peek-a-Boo, Hot and Dry and The Great Cornholio.
