Words and photography by Ola Eliwat.

Children playing on the street. Cute, and it’s even more cute when you honk at them from some distance and they start running quickly as if they didn’t run fast enough, you would actually go ahead and run them over.

The other picture wasn’t as cute.

A little girl at the traffic light, with her mother, a beggar. The little girl had a shawl wrapped around her head and shouldres, her mother was trying to adjust if as if to protect her from the cold weather. It didn’t seem to be doing much. It was obvious that the little girl didn’t understand why she was being dragged on the streets in such chilling weather.

Sorry I couldn’t capture the first scene with my camera, those children run so fast, that girl on the other hand, didn’t seem to be going anywhere.
