Dear Minoo, glad that you appreciated this moving image and info. It is however not sad being such poor as also easy laughing and singing are skills making happy during even the hardest work. The real sad thing is a lack of opportunities for improvement and often life touches very hard the unprotected.
Hugs from paul

Hi Harry, indeed a hard life, but not always a sad life as even the smallest improvement or gifts are so very much appreciated as laughing and singing also are accessible skills for every human being,
vriendelijke groet,
Paul

Dear Keith,
as so many Aussies they mostly care and work hard in constructing a better society. I appreciate their will in improving living standards either at home as e.g. in Africa.
Thanks for sharing.
Be well mate,

Bonsoir Nicki, merci de ta visite et commentaire.
N'oublie pas que la réalité si triste est souvent que la manque d'opportunité, car si pauvre chapeau pour ceux et celles qui savent encore rire et chanter pendant tout ce dûr travail.
gros bisous,
Paul

A pleasure to hear from you Srna, apart from your appreciation. Millions are surviving from day to day as first priority. I'm aware of the fact that we have other problems to solve each day, everybody, but using a smile is a very powerful mean for poor and rich. The critical moment that everybody stops laughing is the best moment for realizing nobody can stop laughing at yourself :-)
Hugs and kisses from Paul
