"Ryquelme Kauan, who was born with #microcephaly, is carried by his mother Avila before the start of his one year birthday party at their house. Ryquelme's actual birthday was December 13 but the family held the party today on the 18. His mother does not know whether she was infected with #Zika during her pregnancy. As many of the babies born with microcephaly turn one-year-old in Recife, doctors and mothers are adapting and learning treatments to assist and calm the children." - mario_tama | December 18, 2016 | #GettyImagesNews #PhotographerTakeover _ Last week mario_tama returned to Recife, Brazil, for the third time this year to re-visit and photograph families he has gotten to know and meet new ones who are facing the severe challenges of raising their children born with microcephaly amidst the Zika virus outbreak.
