{"Image ImageDescription": "Grace's father, Alia Joseph, still suffers from the effects of being tortured by the Lords Resistance Army (LRA). In Morungatuny, Uganda, 5-year-old Grace and 3-year-old Judith start and end their day with walking to gather water for their family. It\u2019s at least six kilometers of walking every day for the girls, and the family\u2019s struggle for water is typical throughout their community, which is also still healing from the physical and emotional wounds of Joseph Kony\u2019s LRA insurgency in their area more than a decade ago. At the time of the insurgency, the government built some boreholes on the edges of the camps it created to protect citizens, but many don\u2019t work today and most aren\u2019t close to where people actually live, so community members instead settle for gathering water from swamps closer to their homes. The swamp water is disease-ridden, causing intensely itching sores on people\u2019s bodies as well as internal diseases like typhoid, diarrhea, and worms. Beyond the physical effects of the water, the walks to get water can be dangerous for kids as they travel through tall grass where they could be kidnapped. Additionally, children like Grace miss a lot of school \u2014 either seriously late or outright absent \u2014 because of their need to collect water. Grace is two years behind in her studies, but she yearns to be a nurse when she grows up. If she and others had water closer, they would be on time to class and learning more. World Vision plans to build three boreholes in their community in the year ahead, which will begin to relieve some of their water pains.", "Image Make": "NIKON CORPORATION", "Image Model": "NIKON D750", "Image XResolution": "150", "Image YResolution": "150", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic 7.1 (Macintosh)", "Image DateTime": "2018:02:12 16:51:11", "Image ExifOffset": "1834", "Thumbnail Compression": "JPEG (old-style)", "Thumbnail XResolution": "150", "Thumbnail YResolution": "150", "Thumbnail ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormat": "2602", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormatLength": "11182", "EXIF ExposureTime": "1/640", "EXIF FNumber": "9/2", "EXIF ExposureProgram": "Manual", "EXIF ISOSpeedRatings": "1800", "EXIF SensitivityType": "Recommended Exposure Index", "EXIF ExifVersion": "0230", "EXIF DateTimeOriginal": "2017:11:16 17:00:42", "EXIF DateTimeDigitized": "2017:11:16 17:00:42", "EXIF ShutterSpeedValue": "1165241/125000", "EXIF ApertureValue": "86797/20000", "EXIF ExposureBiasValue": "0", "EXIF MaxApertureValue": "3", "EXIF MeteringMode": "Pattern", "EXIF LightSource": "Unknown", "EXIF Flash": "Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode", "EXIF FocalLength": "140", "EXIF SubSecTimeOriginal": "05", "EXIF SubSecTimeDigitized": "05", "EXIF ColorSpace": "sRGB", "EXIF FocalPlaneXResolution": "54886891/32768", "EXIF FocalPlaneYResolution": "54886891/32768", "EXIF FocalPlaneResolutionUnit": "3", "EXIF SensingMethod": "One-chip color area", "EXIF FileSource": "Digital Camera", "EXIF SceneType": "Directly Photographed", "EXIF CVAPattern": "[2, 0, 2, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2]", "EXIF CustomRendered": "Normal", "EXIF ExposureMode": "Manual Exposure", "EXIF WhiteBalance": "Auto", "EXIF DigitalZoomRatio": "1", "EXIF FocalLengthIn35mmFilm": "140", "EXIF SceneCaptureType": "Standard", "EXIF GainControl": "High gain up", "EXIF Contrast": "Normal", "EXIF Saturation": "Normal", "EXIF Sharpness": "Normal", "EXIF SubjectDistanceRange": "0", "EXIF BodySerialNumber": "3035324", "EXIF LensSpecification": "[70, 200, 14/5, 14/5]", "EXIF LensModel": "70.0-200.0 mm f/2.8"}
