Maryam, 38, (Centre) is lighting the family's wood stove inside their cave while, Hamidah, 6, (Left) and her sister Fatemah, 12, (Right) are awaiting for tea in the early hours of the morning, in Bamyan, central Afghanistan, an area mostly populated by Hazaras. A historically persecuted minority (15%) due to more lenient Islamic faith and characteristic 'Eastern' lineaments, Hazaras constitute the 70% of Bamyan's population.
