Bonsoir Boa,

Merci pour ce témoignage en ce jour où le pape, en Afrique, tient des propos scandaleux et criminels.
Amicalement
Marc

hej Boa,
I've said it before but I love when people includes typography in there image, it gives a nice meta meaning to the expression and in this case a nice contradiction.
hej så länge

A contrast in the chance of life - but I do hope her life is long and happy. Tfs, Marlene

Hej Boa,
I think you brought very interesting photos from your trip to Africa! You capture special moments, scenes and notice what others may fail to notice - like in this capture.
Very good shot. And rather eloquent. On the screen of my monitor it looks a little dark, though.
Mina bästa hälsningar :)
Elena

Hej Boa,
An interesting composition, very "clean" and original and - along with your note - a bit frightening.
Hälsningar,
Gert

This is a very powerful photo. When I was in Zambia a year ago, I heard the HIV positive population was over 30% I think. Another fact I found fascinating was that foreign adoption was only recently made possible. It is such a sad situation when the streets are "the network" children "have come to trust." Great post.

Sincerely,
Kate
