balancing girl
When we rocked up in Jaisalmar in between these great walls the first thing I saw was this little girl ..balancing..on this rope..wauw i thought how amazing…i watched her many times, she had to earn the family money, mum and dad and little baby where there to collect the money.
I spoke to the father, he told me when he was small he used to do this for many many years, now it was his daughters turn…..she was a lovely child,,but i did feel sad too…. Rajahstan, india

A beautiful story and I know it’s no conciliation, but it beats many of the horror stories of mutilation that take place in India for the sake of money. I hope she was happy showing her amazing talent. Fantastic capture.
