    Children play in the waters of Oura bay, while protesters take to kayaks in an attempt to block sea drilling. The new base at Henoko is set to become one of the largest in Asia, with a double v-shaped runway extending 200 meters into the ocean. Many people are worried that it will significantly impact an area that is renowned for its natural beauty, and pristine coral reefs that are an important habitat for sea turtles and the endangered dugong. by: jessewhitehead Views[617] It was interesting to see how the villages of mountains live,expecially what do their children do, how do they play.It seems like they have really ANOTHER life, than urban children of our cities. They are helpers,they don't know what the computer-games-all-the-day are,they really depend on nature and each other.They were looking so pure but so happy in the same time.And the house looked really autentic by: urbanhippie Views[726] Many families in the village struggle with money and cant afford their children’s education which often forces the husbands to leave to foreign countries to earn more money. This leaves the women alone with the animals, farm and children for months at a time. by: hetahannaloviisa Views[845] Lauren & Lilly, Sue and Michelle's daughters. Me, Linda, Sue, Missy, and Kathy by: ironlotuskauai Views[554] (2) Even though there are over 60,000 residents, Missoula retains a “small-town” feel. The pace of life can be as fast or as slow as one chooses it to be. Neighborhood children shown above slip-and-slide down a hill during a community barbeque open to all. Here, there is no right or wrong way to enjoy oneself. by: prhutchi Views[865]

    After the children finished at Mosque they saw us passing by. Before we knew it, hundreds were chasing after us. I caught this young boy in the moment of excitement. by: sabahsjourney Views[912] During a long Indian train ride we witnessed some of the poor children feeding off leftovers - India the place of contrast. by: wanderlustkiera Views[1109] Children playing in the street of Don Kho by: daviedm Views[1368] children still live in hope of a better life by: juhguedesfotografia Views[586] Children interact with each other while climbing the blocks, as parents keep watch.

    The massive instalment - designed by Mimmo Paladino - is arranged in the shape of a cross beneath the Basilica di Santa Croce (Basilica of the Holy Cross). Florence, Italy. by: mattdenn Views[857] While waiting for some birfds to arrive, I saw this motherless kid in our barangay carrying a pail where she will put the left-over foods from their neighbors which will be used as food for their pigs. by: akoayinhinyero Views[676] These two kids are from our barangay and they are motherless already. Big sister carrying her little brother who is sick and making sure his feet not get wet . by: akoayinhinyero Views[1251] There is hope in the eyes and smiles of the children of Uganda. They are eager to learn and driven by curiosity. There is joy found in the simplest of moments and a sense of community that isn't often seen in more developed countries. These young children were playing along the road with tires and buckets, deeply immersed in their own world of make-believe. While many are in the early stages of education, they avidly yell out affectionate phrases of
     
    Many of the schools in Uganda are underfunded and in desperate need to accommodate the growing number of children. Both private and public schools are in need of financial support to give their kids the best chance at an education. This school near Jinja was a private school that met us with an infectious curiosity, open arms, lively song, and inspiring dance. Their hope is inspire visitors to believe in them and support the future of their education. A majority of the kids at this school are orphans with little or no financial support. The teachers and community are their hope at a better future. by: audreyjeane Views[2308] In Xinjiang, it is not an uncommon sight to see men crowd around in small groups taking part in some kind of culinary sharing sessions. What I've noticed is that they were usually male dominated. As such, this young girl caught my immediate attention. She struck me as a non-conformist, someone who goes out of the way to satisfy her own curiosity and acquire more knowledge, even if it's unconventional. I find myself standing there, observing her learning intently, in absolute amazement. I wanted to give her a penny for her thought. by: priscilla_ong Views[785] I chanced upon this bunch of kids along the back streets of Yarkand (Xinjiang, Western China) participating in what seems to be the most popular childhood activity in town. It requires a deck of round cards and the players' ability to toss each card against the ground perpendicularly so that it would bounce back up and override the opponent's card. Watching them in complete indulgence makes me realize; that games and fun take form in the simplest possible way, and does not always have to involve the latest electronic gadgets. Sometimes, it doesn't even matter what we do, as long as we have the right company. by: priscilla_ong Views[1175] Indigenous Culture. A Culture so rich and vibrant and still alive in this country today. I had the honour of spending some time on an Indigenous community in NSW. The Elders I met were, and will continue to be an inspiration to me. They are keeping culture alive, sharing the knowledge, sharing the wisdom and teaching the children.....our future. by: sunshine-photography Views[727]
     
    A peek into the life of a typical Uyghur family, in Xinjiang, Western China. It appears that bonding over a freshly sliced melon is an integral part of their culture. There is this great sense of intimacy that radiates from them, when you see them relishing the sweetness, in both the fruit as well as the kinship. by: priscilla_ong Views[1212] This is exactly how I was greeted on my first day of travel to Xinjiang, Western China. It was difficult to sit through the entire slaughter, although I must admit there is evidently an interest in the transitional process. It does make me look at my plate differently, and wish it has remained as a black box that mysteriously transforms animals into something edible. It's highly controversial; but something in the children's eyes tells me that the shocked look on my face must have been quite disturbing for them too. by: priscilla_ong Views[731] Although very poor, the Kyrgyz families want the best for their children. Even when this implies leaving their children behind in the valley, so they can attend school. Hagelbek, one of our hosts, told us that he sometimes does not see his children during all of summer. It must be heart wrecking to leave your children behind in the city at the beginning of spring. Nevertheless, Hagelbek is proud that his children now enjoy better education then he himself has had. For the young children living with the family in the highland areas, there is a lot of room to play. They learn a lot of things at a young age, including horse riding by the age of 3. by: jeftedebruin Views[1471] What I found in my friend’s front yard – The children were trying to hug my friend when I said, “Hey, look, guys!! He’s your uncle!” What an innocent children. by: rahma_anugrah Views[443] What I found in my friend’s front yard – They’re unknown children who may live around the neighborhood. When they saw a little crowd here, they just suddenly came. They watched what we’re doing at that time. Then they’re playing together like they own the front yard. I was really surprised when they saw me capturing their picture, and suddenly they laughed till falling to the ground. I love seeing them laughing like that. by: rahma_anugrah Views[576]
     
    The teacher hasn’t turned up. Again. Leifu and Suratan take advantage of the crisp white sands and the freedom of the sea. by: rachelrobertson Views[990] The story of Madagascar is one of beauty and diversity, but also of incessant struggle through environmental and economic crises. Ultimately, conservation and education must go hand in hand. Those carefree children hold the future of their homeland in their hands, and their realising how extraordinary it is will be the strongest driver of change. Happy ending? Time will tell. by: sandra_ab Views[979] I’ll try to tell in five images the story of the millions of fascinating men and women of Madagascar and of the thousands of living species found nowhere else on Earth. Let’s start our journey on Baobab Alley, an iconic landmark of the country. Baobab trees can live up to a few thousand years and hold an important place in local customs and beliefs. Six of the world’s eight species of baobabs can only be found in Madagascar. by: sandra_ab Views[736] Hard at work: ​​ Do you put your camera down and help? Then you realise you can't help them all. Then you feel guilty for taking a photo. Then you think 'but this is life here'. Then you just have to accept it and keep moving on. by: ray Views[1311] Hide and Seek with a camera. Whenever these two young refugees saw the camera they sprinted away at top speed, but inevitably sneaked back to view every photograph. by: moonlight Views[933]
     
    Women gather by the sacred fire to care for the kids. The Himbas use a mix of ochre and fat to avoid sunburn and skin infections. by: intotheworld Views[636] In Sentosa Island, families were having good time, especially the kids. Not just by the amusement park, or by the beach, but by anything that they found interesting. by: acrossthetemasek Views[730] The big chill before the big performance. by: januaryroads Views[673] by: Views[611] No light in a mud hut was tricky for photo taking but the look on these girls faces were worth it. by: sharoncrean Views[729]
     
    Kids are taught by rote, so they know how to rattle off the answer but to think critically is another thing all together. They also had no idea where Australia is. Mind you, the average Aussie student would have no clue where Gulu is. by: sharoncrean Views[572] If it weren't for the background I would say this would be one of my most favourite photos. As soon as he saw us his face broke into this huge smile and started running to greet us. by: sharoncrean Views[449] It doesn't matter where I am in the world as soon as kids see a camera they can't help themselves and get silly. These kids were no different. When they saw themselves on the video screen they thought it was the most hilarious thing they'd ever seen. by: sharoncrean Views[715] These kids don't have the money to pay for school fees so instead one of their jobs was to collect water for their families. We would baulk at the idea of a 4 year old carrying 30kg's of water but to them it's all they've ever known. by: sharoncrean Views[817] While checking out the hand pump who would come along but a couple of women and a child. They told us they were very happy because they didn't have to walk 7km's each day just to get water. Instead it was only a couple of minutes walk. They weren't too keen on getting their photo taken until they discovered we were the ones who got the well organised. by: sharoncrean Views[476]
