Meeting some less privileged kids at a temple.

Posted on June 3, 2019

The other day I was visiting a temple when I met a big group of kids that where given milk, curd and some bread daily by an unknown NGO group. The kids spoke better english than I ever could imagine so it was really nice to get some pictures and let them have a look at how they turned out. Some too small to understand but it was still a nice moment and they giggled at themselves and asked me some questions. The young man from the NGO said that they try to teach them as much english as they can while they are in school. Unfortunately they have to quit at an early age to start earning some rupees instead.

Some where a little scared at first of the big camera and the strange woman, me.
On the other side of the wall is where the kids live
like this in sheds and tents .
Areas like this you can find all over the city. Once they start building on the plot they move on to the next one.

I still see the differences and I do reflect.

Daily.

A village filled with colours-Colours of India.

Posted on May 29, 2019

A morning ride along the road led me into this colourful little village. It was the temple that led me here but I didn’t even get a picture of it. Once I started getting pictures of the village itself I almost forgot about the temple. Then it turned out it was closed anyway. But I had a nice stroll in the tiny village in the early morning.

Walking into the village I never thought it would be colourful at all. I was just aiming for the colourful temple.
Yes, it was the green bucket that caught my attention . Also the electrical wiring that goes via the tree branch up into the palm tree and then ?..( starts between the pink and purple house )
Morning routines. Hair being braided for school and next door the wash is being done.
She was such a pretty girl.
Of course the village little snack shop was open.
Met this lovely lady who had dressed up to match the house, or maybe these where her favourite colours.
She didn’t think she was pretty enough for the picture ! I showed it to her and tried to explain that this is one of my favourite pictures and that she is really beautiful.

Visiting tiny villages out in the country side is something I really enjoy. Especially in the mornings ……before the heat sets in and the sun is too bright for any pictures. Hope you enjoyed the visit today <:
