There is no greater love than mother for child .Around her confusion and filth but her heart is strong and her will , it will carry her forward .Her dream DEFINATELY a beter life for her young one . Her faith in the words of the Buddha will maintain her

thanks for compliments Tiago. I spend about 10 days at the dump, I guess some people there recognized me after seeing me several times. and this girl with her baby... I was walking around the huts near the dump, when I spotted that scene - you could see her from outside. I just came close, smiled showing my camera - she smiled back, it was like saying yes, you can.... that's it, was not that easy though, it cost me a lot of courage...
