21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
ABUSHE

Abushe lives in the outskirts of Jinka, where many people come to visit him because of his rare blue eyes. I also met him and I knew that he has the Waardenburg syndrome, which causes a lack of pigmentation of the irises. Abushe has 4 brothers and 3 sisters and he loves football: when we played together he was a huge Liverpool fan.
