Brief description (if relevant) of special circumstances surrounding the photo:
In an improvised football field in El Bajito (Tumaco island, Colombia), children from low sea areas
make it a daily goal to interaction with nature. In this sector, due the high tsunami risk, the existing
homes were relocated in safest areas. Historically Tumaco has been affected for two tsunami in 1906
and 1979. In these flooded areas have been formed some of the best professional soccer players in
Colombia. The physical effort involved in playing in the water, prepares them to be strong players.
