Due to the silent, gender based,
holocaust that is going on, the
future is a world out of balance.
The repercussions of which will
be profound, and have already
starting in some places where the
men have to travel great distances
to secure a bride, and that’s only
if they can afford to do so.
David, in my travels around the world I have met these beautiful, articulate young girls. Many already put to work at a young age selling trinkets to tourists. Some reduced to tears when a purchase is not made, fearing repercussions from her employer. Thanks for highlighting them today β€οΈ
Thanks for sharing that insight,

Sadly, the more things change

Knowledge is power. Education
is the best option for breaking
free of oppressive poverty.
Opportunity is often the rarest

wealth and corruption go hand

Thanks Liz.

What lovely photographs David. I especially love the one with the three women and beautiful children. The little girl at the end was super precious too. Give my best to Linda. You two always look so happy. What a blessing. Love to you both. β€οΈπ€π¦π¦π€β€οΈJoni
I have visited Indonesia, Afriant.
It was during Ramadan, and the
Hindu festival of Galungan, the
celebration of the triumph of good
(dharma) over evil (adharma) on
the island of Bali. It was a very
interesting and colourful time to
be there.

As Napoleon Bonaparte once said,
a picture is worth a thousand words.
I can only imagine that Josephine
