Counselors from a Yao circumcision camp dance in the nearby village as a form of comfort and entertainment for the worried parents and realtives of the boys. Parents are not allowed to see their sons while the boys are sequestered in the exclusive camp during “jando”, the Yao circumcision ceremony that marks the male passage into adulthood. Seeing the dancers from the encampment reassures everyone that everything is fine and the boys are doing well. Salima, Malawi. August 8, 2006
