Children's happy moments Photography Contest #4 [WORLD OF PHOTOGRAPHY] // Children living near the Landfill

Children are born with honest eyes and innocent smile, dressed in soft cotton wrapped in their mother's loving arms but the world throws in blades and trashes. Despite these, children's smiles and laughter are as honest as a calm lake with still surface and depth of kindness.

These photos are taken in a community near the Inayawan Landfill in Cebu City, Philippines. We had the chance to dwell the residents of a community nearby, hearing their plights and challenges as they survive their daily life in a stinky and unhealthy environment.

But despite all of this, we are humbled to see the smiles of the children. Their honest joy and energy serves as eye-opener that all of the circumstances they are facing are just earthly predicament and not a reason to not be thankful of the life that is given.

They are angels sent to remind the adults that we should see life in the eyes of the children, to see the important things in life, to remind us to be humble and grateful of all the things we have and not to forget to help others.

Thank you @wo-photography , @steemitblog & @steemcurator01 for this opportunity, let's continue to be as happy as the children.
