Photographer’s Note

I captured this image while traveling in a very remote region of Western Uganda. These children have been orphaned by the HIV/AIDS pandemic sweeping across this part of the world. I am happy to report that they are now sponsored, and are enrolled in school.
You can see more of these moving images on my website at www.focusonnewfoundland.com

Hi Glen,

besides the composition that is well done the young boys shows a distress and misery in their eyes that's hard to believe. I think they've been threatened more by life at their young age then ever will be someone from the richer countries in their whole life.
This is the main reason I think we should stay humble and always try to help whenever possible.

Welcome to TE and hope to see more photos from you soon,
Edi

P.S: If I could I would give this picture a 100 points but I think it's more worth than points or other rewards. WELL DONE!

Hello Glen,
It´s a very strong, sad and impressive full of emotions photo - expresions in their faces talk about the life thay have
