I sat listening to these kids yelling in this classroom. They'd occasionally stick their hands out the window. Eventually a teacher showed up and shut things down.

How does it feel to wake up one morning and discover that your six-month-old baby will need intravenous medication 12 hours every day for the rest of his waking life? What would you do if you learnt that he would need a blood transfusion once every three weeks for the rest of his life?

How does it feel to discover that your little baby suffers from thalassemia?

Yes the Boy who is in the center was diagnosed with thalassemia a genetic disorder that reduces the haemoglobin content in the body and causes acute anaemia, which, if not treated, could be fatal.

I met them while i was shooting out with mishi. as he was really quite sitting with his kid, thought would say something and i told mishi to take a picture with this boy. and he told me this story. The only hope for his life will be an bone marrow transplant but the operation is very expensive (Just the operation would cost approximately Mrf 190,000 = US $14,875) but there are other more complicated issues at hand like the age of the patient and finding a matching donor but he is lucky to have a match for his marrow who is his sister going to be 19year this year. He is trying all his best to arrange the fund for this operation. He needs more Mrf 70,000 = US $5447

Touching The Void is a "must read"!

Notice how flickr's downsizing routine cause a light line beside a dark to light transition, probably caused by over USM sharpening. As the original image have none I would expect better from flickr.

Playing with the camera in a sunny Sunday :-)

I have been having really good Egret luck suddenly; very strange. They have eluded me and even mocked me for so long. Now they are striking poses right in front of me. Go figure...

54 new americans!

I just saw my first Ocola Skipper last week. I think this might be the same butterfly? It was a lifer and my look was not great.....better to have it on my finger this time :)

At times I want to touch the sky and feel the softness of the clouds

Por momentos quisiera tocar el cielo, y sentir la suavidad de las nubes

This one is funny. I can't stop touching it. :)

Fun touching the hermit crabs, starfish, etc. at the Gulfarium

C/ Paz de Valencia, donde las pequeñas calles perpendiculares hacen que los edificios casi se toquen. Si algún vecino le falta sal, se la pasas por la ventana...

Touching

Although this isn't a reflection, it makes me think of tentative branches reaching out and touching lightly.
