A Good Morning

Posted by Nick Edens (Toledo, United States) on 18 January 2008 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

This is by far one of my favorite photos from the trip.

I was usually up before anyone else in the house while I was there. Every morning I would wake up and this was the view out of our bedroom window. The boy (the son of a police officer) would walk on the roof studying for nearly 2 hours as soon as it started to get light. Then he would go down to the main floor of the house clean up and goto school for the day.

I was highly impressed with both his devotion and discipline to be able to do this. Not sure of his name and I don't have a better shot of just him but I will surely remember him.

These children in the photos are in need of many things. If you are interested in helping or would just like more info please leave a comment to that effect and I will get back to you or email me at nedens @ gmail.com (be sure to remove the space before and after the @). Children in the free school can be sponsored for $25 a month which gets them 1 good meal a day (for some the only meal they will eat), a uniform, and school supplies. So as you all take a look at this series please consider helping.

I really appreciate everyones comments. They are a great encouragement to me. Thank you!
