The village of Fontainhas sits perched amid terraced farmland on Cape Verdes Sao Antao
The village of Fontainhas sits perched amid terraced farmland on Cape Verdes Sao Antao island July 12, 2010. Unscathed by conflict or political instability, Cape Verde has quietly become a middle-income nation and looks set to be one of few in Africa to meet any of the Millennium Development Goals set for measuring progress in improving livelihoods. Yet it has even loftier ambitions. Picture taken July 12, 2010. REUTERS/David Lewis (CAPE VERDE - Tags: SOCIETY TRAVEL BUSINESS IMAGES OF THE DAY)
