School Bag Smile, by Ryszard Wierzbicki

Award Winner   |   Photo of the Day   |   May 22nd  |  0 Reviews

This photo was taken during my trip to Luang Prabang, in December 2012. I spotted this girl just before entering the town. It was extraordinary that children from the village are always smiling. In comparison to average children in Europe or America these once are extremely poor and they enjoy every small thing. Even a stranger, who is passing by their village is a reason for a joy.
