it breaks my heart to see more babies born into such a world.

@rubin808 They have a job: THIS! Jobs there are scarce,even with a college degree. Do you really think they choose to live like this? For a person who has not experienced this level of poverty or even true knowledge of poverty, you're pretty ignorant to make such comments. Don't talk about getting a job over there until you've been in their shoes!

@rubin808 Many of these people have jobs - including kids as young as 6 - and I bet they work a lot harder everyday than you have ever done in your life. As for birth control, even if they had the money for it, parents want more kids so there's a greater chance that someone will succeed and pull the family out of poverty. Your comment only demonstrates your ignorance and nastiness.

hi mhyw! after taking these pictures, where you able to get involved in programs to help these children?

[rubin808]

These people need to get a job and start using birth control.
