Township Life

Isnt it ironic, that the kids with the least amount of toys, have the most fun? It saddens me to see the empty streets of the affluent areas. No kids in the streets. Here in Soweto, I was amazed at how much fun these kids were having, playing with the most ordinary things. Home made handbags, a fucked-up cycle, stones in the streets...I envied their innocence.

I believe..that the kids who spend their lives indoors, in front of their MTV, and their play stations...are surely GOING NOWHERE .....SLOWLY

So true, less fortunate are always happier with less. I love the smile on the kid's face, like he's got the coolest bike in town. Priceless!

i can relate to this kid, growing up we only had one old doll for three girls to share and we treasured it (my Mom gave it later to the poor girl in their province... i wished though she didn't for i want to keep it now:( ).
i can see the happy emotion from the boys eyes, a treasure:love:
