Avia Terai

One Photograph Sparks Pesticide Revolution in this Argentinian Town

Aixa Ponce Cano was born in the small town of Avia Terai in rural Argentina with tumors on her back and moles covering her body. Her mother, like most other people in Avia Terai, lives near soybean fields that are sprayed with pesticides.
A photograph of the young girl, Aixa Ponce Cano, now eight, born in the small town of Avia Terai in rural Argentina has made a massive difference in the lives of children exposed to pesticides through indiscriminate crop spraying.
