Wrong job for a kid

Awais Yaqub

Wrong job wrong person
Today weather was hot and cloudy. I was going to printing shop for some prints. I found this little kid selling balloons in a market known as market of elite class of people situated in elite class area of Islamabad where politicians/actors/businessmen/ ambassadors etc live and come to shop or simply place of people who write destiny of people of Pakistan.
I was really sad to see this boy who should be playing with toys is selling balloons in a sick hot weather.

Nice photo. Reminds me of a rainbow in the sky.

Maybe he wants this job? Sometimes kids are older than they look. Nice photo, regardless!

schmoo

The angle of your shot makes me think he's fighting the urge to let them all go and watch them sail up up up into the blue sky....

Thanks all
I hope he was not a kid but he is ..........

Maybe he's trying to save up for a camera ...and won't settle for a cheap one...hence the job?

Awais - you are right ... children should be about playing and having fun and not about earning money. We all must, individually and if possible collectively, do what we can, a small step at a time, to make this world better for our children.

Hey Awais! Love all the colorful balloons! Great shot, kids seems to be struggling by holding on to them and trying not to let them go. Good shot!

It's so hard to remember that some children in the world have no choice about working when they should be playing and learning and simply growing up. This is a poignant shot, Awais. Thank you for sharing and making me think.

Conrats!!! I was wondering how "our" Awais (Dgrin's Awais) was doing in the program. You better do good, you are representing the entire DGRIN community - lol.

Sincerely - Good Job!!!

Perhaps he'll be very sucessful one day. He's got motivation! But you're right...kids should be kids...he should be playing with these balloons...not selling them at his young age. :cry
