Rosa & Friend

MH Del Pilar St., Manila Philippines

...Rosa smiling after dinner, with another of her friends (the child on the left of Rosa - her mother leaves her out on this street most of the night, when she's working the local bars on MHDPilar St. - very sad)

Very touching image.. It´s sad that these thing shappen and we tend to close our eyes. Thanks for adding up the awareness a bit..

Gail,

I don't know Rosa's friends name - but there were many times I went out to the 7-11 at 1am, 2am, etc & saw the girl sitting alone at a cafe across the street from the bar; her Mom would come over & comb her hair or something, & then go back to the bar, leaving her girl there alone......most evenings she'd be playing with Rosa on the street, and the kids were left to watch over each other, as many others are.

What a tragic situation.
