Thanks for posting those photos! They really have a lot of flavor of the moments they represent. I thought the one of the water bottles and the pieces of cake and the bananas and oranges was very interesting--like it represented a happy, celebratory day in a place where a lot of the days look like they are pretty dismal and sucky.

Woa (#16) kind of shocking to see them girls without the hijab. Is this a special school ?

I like #19 as well, a little too centered.

No just a normal school. I don't think they wear the hjab until they are married or reach a certain age.

It's true they wear hijab in certain age or when they get mature enough. And I add not all of girls do commet to hijab.
Nice pictures, I like them all.
