BURIAL IN JICAMARCA

Recently one of the parents of some children participating in the kitchen of El trebol died. The following photos show something of the local landscape of Jicamarca and the harsh reality of a normal day's existence in this area. The bodies of the dead are taken directly from the house to the cemetery with little ceremony. Because this family participated in the Children's Kitchen, someone thought to inform the priest in time, so that a simple rite of burial could be performed for the deceased and his family.

A view of the local cemetery in Jicamarca. A land so harsh and mean, that it barely gives up its rocks for the dead.

Final goodbyes by the graveside.

Filling in the grave - with dust and rocks.

A final drink to the memory of the deceased.
