Thanks you for appreciating my work, this is my first ribbon. I have started this hobby 2 months ago, and I am learning from all of you. This is my first ribbon and I am overwhelmed with the results, though my other photos are doing well in the past too. It gives me more inspiration to do my craft better.

Taking this shot is not so hard to do, but it hurts. At first it gave me the feeling of hesitant, coz I̢۪m going inside the hideouts of the street children in an abandon building. A sidestreet vendor helped me get inside their place. It is so heart melting when I got inside. Bad odor, miserable places to live, but despite of who they are and what they do they are very friendly to me. Some of them are just being neglected by their parents and they result to inhaling shoe glue, which offers them an escape from reality, and takes away hunger. Many are victims of abuse, sometimes murder, by police, other authorities and individuals who are supposed to protect them. They survived by begging and scavenging. After my visit to this children,I bought them bread for them to feed, I know they need more than this. They need homes and they need love.

here are some of the shots which i took during this outtake.

Again I thank you all for my first ribbon :-)

I̢۪ll be back with those kids again and feed them.

The photo reminds me where I came from. I always tell my kids not to waste food for the same reason as you stated.

Great job and keep it up!

This is a very well-deserved ribbon! While so many of us "re-created" despair, you went out and found it...a true trait of a wonderful photographer. Thanks for sharing your work, and for making us all appreciate the things we take for granted.

Great job Gigi. Thanks for taking us into the real world. We don't think about conditions that we don't see and need a wake up call once in awhile.
