It’s a beautifully sad picture. It is heartbreaking that families have to live that way anywhere.
Your pictures are amazing.
Your pictures are amazing.

thank you for sharing. You know what’s, in a strange way, even sadder? The kids that live in comparative luxury but aren’t loved that much...
Gerry Yaum t really puts things in perspective. I remember coming back from the dump one year. I was in the dump for several weeks making pics daily in December, doing the other donation work etc. Then I flew directly and quickly back to Canada and within a few days of my arrival was having a HUGE Christmas dinner with my dad, mom and family family. Ham, Turkey, Pyrogies, Cabbage rolls, Meatballs, Salads of various types, Potatoes and other fresh veggies, Cranberry sauce, gravy, 3 or 4 deserts etc. It was an incredible feast. As I looked at all that food, and saw everyone laughing and enjoying it, I was somewhere else. My mind thou kept on going back to the dump, it was a very difficult meal to enjoy. I kept having flashbacks to the kids in the garbage, to the people working so hard in such filth. That moment for me really put my life in perspective, really focused me on how privileged and incredibly lucky I am.
