    Smile Photo story: Mushaisa

    Hello,
    I'd like your opinion on a recent photo project that I recently finished with a friend.

    Last December, we travelled to La Guajira, Colombia on a journey to discover the effect of the world's largest open-pit coal mine.
    Because of the mine’s activities and expansion, the people living around the mine, the harbour and the 150km rail tracks joining them live in deplorable conditions.
    In this remote region of Colombia, we’ve witnessed:

    • Forced displacements of Indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities

    • Deteriorating living conditions in communities surrounding the mine’s activities
    • Deteriorating general health and serious environmental pollution

    You can see more of the project on www.mushaisa.info

    Let us know what you think!
    Thanks for your support.

    Looks like a difficult, ambitious, and worthy project. The photos on the site look good but I think you need more to establish context. You talk about the world's biggest open-pit coal mine and I think it would help to have pictures of that. It would also be nice if you had the site available in multiple languages.
