children of hope........three sisters

A trio of beauties....Daniela's sisters....Eva,Olivia, and Isabel. Where are they marching barefoot to this Saturday afternoon? Taking lunch to their father who is at work as a security guard at the local school. Eva is looking a little suspicious of my motives, huh? :))) It is not unusual, in the barrio, to see the girl children wearing beautiful dresses fit for a birthday party, like this white eyelet cotton one Eva is wearing. Can only assume they are donated as I'm sure the miniscule income families are surviving on must preclude the purchase of such fine wear. I have one delightful photo of Eva in the doorway of her home wearing what looks like a ballerina's tu tu! Isabel, most of all, loves to pose for the camera. Am happy to say that Empowerment International has found a sponsor for each of these little girls. $100 a year brings tangible support for the family and hope for the girls' future.

Hi, everyone! Thank you all for your phenomenal support of this project to date. You have been more than generous. I dedicate today's post to my dear friend Julio (risquillo) with many thanks for his very kind testimonial. He's an awesome photographer. I have learned much about portraiture from Julio. He's a master.. A sublime example of his work here
