GARUT, WEST JAVA, INDONESIA - JUNE 09: Firman 44 years old accompanied by his wife during activities drying tobacco in Ciburuy Village, Garut Regency, West Java Province, on June 09, 2022. According to villagers living in Ciburuy Village, there are 10 teenagers and adults albinism diagnosed people who study and work outside the village. Albinism is a genetic condition that causes a person to lack color pigment. Due in the skin and hair, a unique pigment that is not the same as other residents around the village, albinism people are sometimes getting ridiculed and insulted. ThatΓ’s why, albinism residents are forced to stop going to school, since they loses their confidence. But on the other hand, over time, the local residents begin to embrace and make albinism friends as a daily habit. This village also has quite unique rules. One of them is, it is forbidden to make a visit on Tuesdays and Fridays. This is a taboo that has been passed down from generation to generation since the ancestors of the residents of Kampung Ciburuy and has never been violated by the community.
