@glen, lowel, rom, Sand: Thank you for dropping by.

@Sand: I've been told by the preacher that this is the life these people chose to live. I've not done extensive research about them but they live a life similar to that of gypsies in Europe.

7. art class





The children were getting restless and harder to control by the minute so they were seperated into three groups and given activities. I was looking for a child to shoot and this little fella caught my eye. He couldn't use the crayon properly yet but he's trying his best.

seeing this makes me cry. akong anak ka usikan ug crayon pero kini tawn nan ingkamot bahalag bali na or into pieces.

8. babies

These three babies caught my attention for different reasons.

This one is just adorable, period.




If the tongue didn't catch your attention, I don't know what else would.




This child on the other hand looked sickly. We asked her mother about her condition and she was indeed sick. She stopped taking meds after three days because they ran out of money. I didn't dole out any because I didn't want these people to rely too much on the generousity of others. Then again, should I have?

I'm going to end this thread with my favorite photo of this little girl who looked straight up at me. It's her eyes that made me choose this as my thread ender.
