Very emotional. I think sometimes that in the west we aren't so much raising our children as herding the next generation of hedonists. This life we live knowing the cost of everything and the value of nothing is shown up for the shallow fix it is when compared to the story behind these photos.

Great photographs. I especially love the one of the kid doing the handstand in the river. They certainly do seem happy

And why would that be, that "they are much happier than most children in the states" ?

Because their expectations are lower. They don't need a computer and an X-Box and a cell phone and a wide-screen HD TV and all the other junk kids these days cannot do without. They don't need designer clothes or shoes or anything, their sibling's hand-me-downs are just fine. In other words they don't know what they are missing so they are happy with what they have.

Excellent series of shots.

Very very nice shots.

Kids are kids no matter where they live. My son with his friends (when unplugged) I'm sure are just a happy and crazy as them in Haiti. And if you plugged in the Haitian kids...badda bing.

Thanks for the posts - It never ceases to amaze me how children in particular can look so happy and beautiful in such sitauation of what we can consider to be poor living condition
