Left in the Dark

Yusef Dorozhko has a sad story. I don't know all the details, but not long ago he lost his wife and his son. Yusef is now alone. He is 81-years-old and lives in a house on the outskirts of a remote village, where he has two cows, a horse, a dog and four cats. He still works on the land and fixes things around the house, which to my amazement still did not have electricity. It seems like the world has forgotten Yusef, but considering his situation he was relatively optimistic and energetic. I was glad to meet him and keep him company.
