I pass by them every morning, their kids wouldn't be older than 5 or 6.
The stay in the pavements, they eat left-overs, they wear torn 100 times re-stitched clothes and shoes.
Their kids, play in scorching sun, their men work in every condition, their houses don't have electricity or water
The term luxury for them is a someones hand-downs that aren't torn.
Still they have friends to rely on, and a huge smile on their face, that SMILE! My friend, is the most beautiful, and that Smile is priceless

Hi Dee Dee,
ReplyDeletePlease could you update the copyright link for the photo of the three children shown here. I actually own the image and I am happy for you to continue using it as long as you link to my site rather than the site yourstory.com.
The new link should be
