The Garbage Patch Kids by

Peshawar Pakistan
over 5 million Afghani refugees live
among the slums
children are forced to work in slave labour
and collecting rubbish and waste
to help generate income for their families

children should be born to grow
learn and to play
not to be siphoning oil from car engine
or making bullets

any profit will go to helping the Citizen Foundation to help pay for a child’s education than to see them working in the streets gathering a income

    Looks older than he seems. Nice shot.
    Still children though as you can see by those behind him.

    Jacob, I have this photo hanging up on my wall in front of me – it looks so good! The ‘cherry’ frame brings out the warmth of colours.
