Many of the places we visit, we see lots and lots of children. After years of conflict, it seems there is a missing generation, with people in their late twenties or early thirties being rare indeed. South Sudan has a high birth rate too, although it also has one of the highest infant mortality rates as well. An up hill battle.
These kids were all dressed up to attend a rally in town, during the visit of the State Governor. The elections are coming, so like in any country, the politicians are on the move.
This little girl walked by crying and crying (seemed to be fighting with her brothers) but as soon as she saw me with my camera, wanted her picture taken. Cute, cute, cute!
Most of these children have not seen themselves in a picture so always want us to take their photo and show them on our cameras.
These pictures are great. I love how the children are dressed up and the shot of the little girl with tears on her face is absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe last one of the boys made me chuckle because someone in the background is wearing a Britney Spears t-shirt. She's everywhere!
