South Sudanese Women.
milayas
Lorek asked the women to pose in front of their sheets. “Building up these studios in their temporary homes gave me the opportunity to see more of their real home—South Sudan—even though they had to leave so much behind,” she says.
The Milaya Project is a non-profit founded by Nora Lorek and National Geographic writer Nina Strochlic. It connects South Sudanese refugees with customers who want to support the traditional art form. All profits go to helping the women’s collectives scale-up their businesses.
On their way from South Sudan to Uganda refugees walked for days or weeks carrying embroidered sheets, decorated with swirls of flowers, trees, and animals. Before the war these milayas were used for dowries and celebrations, but now, after years of violence, they held the refugees’ last possessions.
The civil war in South Sudan has displaced more than two million people. Today, in Bidibidi, the second largest refugee camp in the world, women continue to sew milaya. They’re hung at church on Sundays, and decorate funerals and weddings.
South Sudanese businesswomen Rose Asha and Rose Jaun both run collectives with hundreds of refugee women sewing milayas in Bidibidi. They have business plans, but no transportation, supplies, or buyers in the remote camp.

Mt. Everest in All it’s Glory
Ozturk found himself shivering in the subfreezing chill atop the mountain’s North Col, laboring to breathe the thin air at 23,000 feet, roughly a mile below the summit. He’d spent eight months planning for the moment but calculated that he’d only have 15 minutes to capture an image before his drone’s battery died in the brutal cold. With numb hands, he launched the device into the sky, its propellers emitting a high-pitched whine as it struggled to gain altitude into the diminished atmosphere.
Drone images composed into an amazing view of Everest.
