I have had this picture up on the blog before, but not entered in the challenge. The only requirements of this weeks' entries are that the were taken by a teen and feature a face. This is one of my favorites that I have ever taken. I took this one while in Haiti this March on a mission trip. This is at a refugee camp for victims of the earthquake in Port au Prince. I don't know this little girl's name, her story or where she is now, all I know is that she was so happy just to have someone play with her and take her picture. The joy that radiated from her shocked me. Despite all she had seen, tragedy in Port and now living in one of dozens of tents like the one behind her. Such a beautiful reminder to appreciate what we have.

Wow, look at her shining eyes. Beautiful! I went to Haiti in 1984. I have never been the same. Thank God.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love what your banner says. It took me about a hundred words to say on my banner what you wrote in seven on yours. ;-)
Thank you all for your comments! I really think she taught me more than I could have ever helped her, all those smiling kids are. :)
