these were shot few months back in winters . They cut grass and make their livings pay them one times food or money .
when i opened the gate i found them and their mother cutting grass kids asked for food i went back inside and along with food i brought my camera. They said ok take a picture at once they ran away talking to each other in their language and they were laughing . :D
I know photos are not of good quality but i love watching them :scratch

The black and white shot is very good Awais, I am glad you are a kind person and gave them food, we really don't know what it's like to struggle do we, your reap what you sew. :D
Thank you Awais its people like you that can make a huge difference in their lives .......... Skippy

Thanks for sharing Awais. Your photos always meke me think. Although these images were poor in quality .... are rich in image content.
Those children are happy and thankful for what they do have ... yet here in the US we are unhappy and obsessed with what we don't have.

PS- How's school going?
