I met this little boy in a slum community in Ciudad de Guatemala (Guatemala City) on August 31, 2010. I love his little suit and the pink balloon was just priceless. He was a relatively shy kid but his two sisters were just the opposite. They loved the opportunity to have their picture taken and went crazy when I showed them their portrait afterwards. This was such a great day and very eye opening at the same time. At times you begin to question, "What did I do to deserve the opportunity and life I have?" The only difference between myself and children like this is the circumstances under which we were born.
