"It's ok. . .
as long as we're happy."
as long as we're happy."
It took me courage to take a picture of this family, it was hard for me to do it. I find it heartbreaking to see these two little boys wearing nothing. How bothering it is, too, to see their mother pregnant for the third child. How can the father support his family if he can't even buy a pair of slippers for himself? Their situation is like a slap to my face, waking me up to reality. They are people who are suffering from poverty, hunger, malnourishment, and those who are waiting to be heard. People like them want to voice out their deepest concerns, want to cry out for help, but knowing they wont get any. But these people will do whatever it takes, because they want to stay alive and they choose to be happy.
No matter how terrible the situation may be, people like them usually ignore the clamoring of the world because deep in their hearts, hope awaits.
YOU, reading this: You're lucky to know their situation, because now that you do, you'll realize how blessed you are.
