These Photo's are of 11 Children in Haiti. They have all been forced to live a very rough life but yet they are much happier then most children in the states. Anyways I'll let the photo's do the talking.

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

Indeed it sometimes seems that the more we have, the more we feel the need to have more.

Why? I have no idea. They are bubbly, cheerfull, sometimes very loud, and yet have nothing. No toys, other then maybe something that they made. They sing and dance, as they are working out in the fields or washing laundry by the river. They are all very skinny, I'm sure they don't eat that much. Unemployment in the country side is 70%. Some of these children don't have parents because of complications during pregnancy and HIV. Its a hard life that they are entering into. The area where i was at was very remote about 6 hours from Port-a-Prince. If you ever get the change go to a 3rd world country it is well worth it. Changed my life.

I have been to the Dominican Republic and visited a Haitian Batey, and I can vouch for the above. They are honestly the happiest children and have nothing. The children play in muddy streets, wearing the same clothes day after day, and constantly smile. Its one of those things you can't understand or appreciate until you witness it yourself. I witnessed children hitting rocks with a stick for hours. Even playing pick up baseball with a rock. A simple smile will light those children's lives up.

Love the photos! And maybe they appear happy because they are so thankful for what little they have. Another difference between most US kids and the bright eyed children in your photos.

1,3, 9 are favorites if I had to choose.

Cause now they live in Canada, and you know, Canadians are happppppier then people in the states. (Sorry, my keyboard stuck on ppppppppppppp)
The second round of pictures looks more like Haiti. All of them very powerful.

I am all for the tight cropping but some of them were a little too tight. You completely cut out one kids mouth. Other than that I like what you've got here.
