Wider Image: Children of the Moon 
A person's hands are seen holding an archive photograph of Margarita, a Guna albino or "Child of the Moon", that shows her during her visit to Washington in 1924, in this picture taken May 4, 2015. The photograph is displayed at the Guna congress on Achutupu Island in the Guna Yala region, Panama. Alabaster-skinned people born on a sun-scorched group of islands off Panama's Caribbean coast are venerated as Children of the Moon. Albinos make up between 5 and 10 percent of the roughly 80,000 indigenous Gunas who live on the mainland of the Guna Yala region and its islands. With their sensitive skin and eyes, young Guna albinos must be shuttled to and from school, avoiding the baking heat, while they watch their friends play in the streets. June 13th is International Albinism Awareness Day. REUTERS/Carlos Jasso
