A humbling view of where children sleep around the world

[zappaman]

This photography by James Mollison is featured in his thought provoking book, Where Children Sleep. Each picture comes with a caption that tells the story of the child.

“I hope this book will make children think about inequality...” says Mollison, “and perhaps start to figure out how, in their own lives, they may respond.”

7. The picture of the little princess

made up like a 20 something woman made my blood boil. I would have been ashamed to admit I let my daughter participate in these beauty contests. What is wrong with parents?

The inequity of this world is beyond comprehension. Such a sad state of affairs.

8. Make sure you never watch TODDLERS AND TIARAS.

Caught a bit once and it made me ashamed to be human.

3. There's a great charity I've got a loose connection to...

http://www.scaw.org/

Sleeping Children Around the World. Donations are used to buy locally made bed kits, which not only helps the kids, but also supports the local economy.

5. I really enjoyed the photos,

but the commentary was very judgmental and somewhat disrespectful. I don't think I would like to meet James Mollison.

6. #1 might be a surprise

I think the authors made some almost weird assumptions on some of these though - #9, 8, 5, 4, 2.
