My first picture is a picture of students at the Academy for Peace and Justice in Port-au-Prince. In the United States, schools are a big part of life. All kids are known to go to school and learn. However, in other places, not all children are so fortunate. I think it is great that these children get the opportunity to learn and maybe one day they can use the education they are getting and put it to good use and find their way out of slum life. We always complain about having to go to school but it is a privilege and we should appreciate it more. Picture taken by (Swoan Parker/Reuters).
My second picture is a picture of a cute little Afghan refugee named Nazeeha Taj. She is five years old and in this picture she is playing with a drum. I think it is amazing how even with the condition that she is living in, she has something to smile about. Her life must be so hard and she has clearly seen more than a little girl should have to see but she still has that sense of childhood within her.

My third and final picture is a picture of two sisters that were displaced by war holding hands. They are standing in front of a makeshift hut which is probably where they live. They are at a Bulengo camp just outside Goma in eastern Congo. I am glad that these sisters are still together because there is nothing like family and even though they have lost their parents and any other family they may have had, at least they have each other which is far better than nothing.
