Homeless Kids Playing in Manila

While out on Mabini Street in Metro Manila, I came upon a few homeless kids from the neighborhood who were playing on the sidewalk with only an empty water bottle & a whistle - and got this nice capture.

Their clothes were pretty much tattered hand-me-downs, and after reviewing the files from this day's shooting after I returned to the USA, it gave me the idea of shopping for clothing for the kids at local outdoor markets later that year - shopping trips for childrens clothing that I continue to do to this day, and that I'll continue to do in Manila & Cebu later next month when I arrive.

Thanks for reading today,
