Description
Poverty: It is a condition in which a person or community is deprived of, and or lacks the essentials for a minimum standard of well-being and life. These essentials may be material resources such as food, safe drinking water, and shelter, or they may be social resources such as access to information, education, health care, social status, political power, or the opportunity to develop meaningful connections with other people in society.We went to a slum area in Quezon City for our Gawad Kalinga (in English it means "to give care"). There were around 20 of us and we had a program to help the youth of about 50+ children and teach them basic values and give them the attention and care that they definitely weren't getting from their parents.
I saw this child walking around barefooted and I saw all the wounds on his legs. I couldn't help but feel sad for him. I hope that someday he will have a chance for a better future...

I think probably the best aspect of this photograph is not just the quality of the picture, but also the meaning of it. I think it makes it that much better because there's a story behind it that you chose to share. So thank you and well done.

It's always nice to be able to know the story behind an image and so I always try to share the story if ever there is one. Thank you as well!

Great image! Love the texture on the skin and the contrast of the image, it very much gives a sense of poverty and desperation.

This is a beautifully composed photo - so simply, so striking, so effective.
I have absaloutly no critisism fo rthis (a rare thing!) because you could not make it any better than it already is.
And you are right, it is highly unusual to see something so un-beautified. It's frequent enough to see something that has been made ugly, gruesome or dark; but this, this is just so very sad.
This would be a good image to use for something like Amnesty, or one of the pverty based charities - it is striking enough to attract a good deal of notice.
And, may I add, you have a stunningly strong gallery, I am very impressed - and greatly saddened that so far you haven't had much notice on DA. Hopefully I can help change that.
