Early Exposure by Valerie Rosen

Early Exposure by

An old woman beggar in Virupaksha Temple holds her donated coin to her head in thanks to this child tourist who is learning early about poverty in India. I commend the parents of this child for encouraging their child to take notice of a world issue that so desperately needs concern and sensitivity. Still I wonder what went through the child’s mind throughout the experience. Captured in Hampi, Karnataka, India.

    The poor soul! A great image, Val – I hope the child will remember this always

  • I hope so, too! I’m guessing the family travels a lot, so this child has quite a future ahead of her! :-)
