"I don't think this little girl is a begger - SHE IS DOING SOMETHING TO EARN a living.
Sad indeed to see little angels had to do these things at their age.
I think everyone of us should choose some charity and do what ever we could to help".
Child abuse, child poverty, Child labour does exist in our so called beautiful world(mainly a WESTERN WORLD).
I am a donor for few charities - Sight Savers, Concern, African aid, etc. I spend about 50 euros/month to donate. Its not much but goes a long way in poor countries.
I would appeal to all the good UF members to choose some charity of their preference and donate something. It might be just 5 dollars/euros. It will make a BIG difference to a child like this one.
If my appeal makes a slightest diffrenc to a child, then I would consider STREET PHOTOJOURNALISM has worked. Photojournalism is not simply about PATHOS of the image. Its about REAL people.
regards, ken.
