Images magnifiques d'enfants pauvres et qui semblent pourtant heureux, un peu le contraire de certains enfants d'ici. Beau reportage. Bravo!

These kids seem happy with their circumstance except for the one picture where the boys look a bit suspicious of your shooting. Fine series.

I feel for these people. You are brilliant at documenting the beauty in such places.

Your work is excellent and important. I can't help but feel sad for these kids. Yet, their spirit is amazing to behold.

It is quite interesting to see that no matter how poor and pitiful these children are, they still seem to be happy that someone is taking a picture of them. Very powerful work Sidney!

Et ils ont le sourire... ce n'est pas souvent le cas, dans notre société d'abondance.

They look healthy. That surprises me.

someone once told me, if you feel sad and depressed, ride a jeep and go to a poor place, one where people thrive on garbage and have barely nothing to eat and you will see that despite how little they have, they look content and happy. her point is, count your blessings, even how little it is. the photos above tells me, my friend is indeed right.
