Abu Kamara dons his finest robe for his portrait with his wife, Isatu Kamara. Like many residents, Abu has only two or three items of clothing and wanted to be photographed in his best outfit. Many residents are supported by family members who live outside the facility but cannot care for them full time. Abu has leprosy and it is slowly loosing more and more of his hands and feet. His wife visits him everyday and often sleeps next to him in his small metal cot.
