My Pa Can't Afford Me Shoes
by Iwan N. Rahardjo (spinrahardjo)

Camera:

Olympus E-510

Location:

Karang Bolong, Cilegon

Indonesia

Photographer Notes:

Taken while documenting a Corporate Social Responsibility event that took place at an elementary school in a rural village. The teacher summoned the kids to gather at the school's yard on a very hot day so that we can start distributing stationery to them. That's when I notice this pair of bare feet among the crowd. There are more kids like him at that school. The company also replaces the school's badly broken desks n chairs with brand new ones.

A very thought provoking image with a powerful message! We should be so thankful for what we have and extra generous to those who have not especially poignant during the holiday season! Congratulations on an excellent and well seen image!
