Description Location: Islamabad Pakistan

He was fixing the blades of a ceiling fan.  He looked at me for a second and then continued working. 

While Islamabad is the newest and most modern city in Pakistan.  There are many slums and ghetto like areas .. hidden in plain sight.  Many people who have lived in Islamabad for decades have no idea about them either.  This image is one from a trip I took into a "christian ghetto", which lies within the F-6 sector (One of the most prestigious and expensive sectors of Islamabad).  It has no official recognition,  It is not marked on any map. It is sometimes called .. "the 100 houses" by the inhabitants.

They are a little more than just forgotten, The treatment that they often receive here in Pakistan is nothing to be proud of.

I understand, it is the same in India.
Of course I do like Pakistan, though never been there. 
There are a certain circumstances in politics,
that they are forgotten, it might change for the better
in the future. 
The children are happy as long as they have their family
around them.

That's true.
But the governments of many countries do not care about that.
Children are the future of our being, and all the children,
not only children  of the privileged classes.
