Every time there is more and more poverty around the world. Do we know what is not being able to have food, clothes, a shelter, education and the complete lack of necessary means to live? We live in a society of egoism, where we just look for ourselves, but now imagine just for one moment if you were the mother of this child… How you would feel?

​

This image speaks for itself. Here we can see, in the middle of the photo a little child that may have 4-5 years old. He must have the misfortune of be born in a sub developed country where there is a war, there are lack of technology, low social resources, social exclusion… He is wearing some wrinkled clothes, that mustn’t wrap up a lot, and also, he is subjecting a little bag where there must be some food. Besides in his hands we can observe that he has some food, that should be a bun.  The child is above of bags filled of clothes that is where he must get his clothing. He seems an innocent boy, weak due to lack of food and the women must be bleak and stressed for not being able to comply the necessity’s they have.  Down left we can see what must be his mother, tacking care of here, giving him a blanket. Moreover, behind her there is an old woman that may be his grandfather sitting on the floor in front of a dog. They’re in the middle of a bulge of thrown clothes, conjoined in the floor and in sacks. Also, we can see some houses made of wood and unsustainable materials covered with a fabric. The city looks shattered and full of rubble in the streets.

​

When we look at the image, we all look at the little boy, but with what I more empathize is with the girl that seems here mother. How difficult is to survive being in his situation, having to aliment a child, taking care of the grandfather… Many of us, we complain of our situation, but when we see this type of images, we realize of how fortune we are.
