Faces of Children in Myanmar

When I hopped on that 7:30 am flight to Yangon back in December, the guide-book in my hand was brand new. Apparently I wasn’t prepared and of course didn’t know what to expect. I certainly did not expect to have such connection with children in Myanmar– on their faces I saw this sort of genuineness that’s almost ancient….

This boy at the food stand was probably more professional and attentive than a lot of other adult servers. He said thank you and gave me this great smile after I showed him pictures I took for him.

The most heartbreaking moment

We saw these two girls as soon as we walked into the village. They were curious about our presence and lingered (even helped) when our guide was showing us the water pump.

We offered to buy some candies for the children in the village. They waited patiently they were shy and polite. When Alan gave a boy an extra pack of snack, he said to our guide that he’s got one already…..

On our way out the village, we heard “hello hello!” We turned around and saw this adorable picture.
