Congratulations to Anush Babajanyan for receiving an honorable mention in the UNICEF Germany’s 2017 Photo of the Year competition.
About this photo: Fatoumaba and Zeynab, 3, pose for a portrait on a street in the Koumassi district of Abidjan, Ivory Coast on July 28, 2017. It is a belief that is centuries old in Ivory Coast, and in several countries of West Africa, that twins have spiritual and mystical powers. When in need for a problem to be solved or for a positive change to happen, people often come to twins, donate to them and seek for a blessing, with the hope that the power of the twins will help their wishes come true.
