The story of two young models from Kazakhstan is making people recognize the beauty of our ethnic and genetic diversity.

Asel and Kamila Kalaganova are 14 and 2 years old respectively. What makes them unusual is that the sisters are both albino. 

Although not a lot was understood about their condition initially in their native country, their looks are now being celebrated worldwide. 

There are three Kalaganova siblings: Asel is the firstborn, Kamila is the youngest, and they have a brother who is eight years old, Aldiyar. Kamila and Asel look similar, but their brother's appearance is quite different. This is because the Kalaganova sisters are both albino, which means that they were born without pigmentation.

When Asel was born, she had such fair skin and blonde hair, which was completely different to her parents, 38-year-old Aiman Sarkitova and Lldar, who have dark skin and hair.

“The first major shock was when my first daughter was born. Everyone would gawp at her in surprise. The community was stunned."

said Aiman. 

The girls have to take care to stay out of the sunlight, as reports The Daily Mail. 

"If I go outside in the afternoon, then I definitely apply sunscreen, put on clothes to protect my skin, headgear or use an umbrella," 

said Asel.

The sisters are both now entering the modeling world and have thousands of followers on social media.
