[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There were many types of vendors who approached us as we get off the bus. They are mostly children and teenagers. This little girl is the smallest vendor there. Her escorts are probably her sister and brother. They were not as aggressive and noisy like the rest of the vendors. Instead of buying from them, my wife gave them chocolate bars which we brought with us from the U.S. When they got their chocolate, they were so happy, they just huddled together and ate their chocolate together.

Suffering of kids should always make us to think about it. Your photo certainly make me do that. Obviously there are more and more places on this earth where the kids are'nt most important thing in the world.
Somehow, this well dressed man (without head) bring this last taught to my head.(I suppose he is from your group on the bus, maybe driver), but way you include him in this superb photo tells me that he does'nt bother himself with these kids.

Good shot, a bit too much with the contrast, I wonder what it would look like in BW? I'd love to get rid of the guy in the shirt and tye behind them too!....

Hi Andre-very good daily life capture and accompanying note- it is always heartbreaking to see kids selling trinkets to earn money for themselves and family to survive instead of being able to be in school or play like other children. TFS their picture and story with us!

Best wishes,
Steve

Hi Andre,
wonderful capture of these kids, staying and moving in the same time.
