The Dark Continent has unexplored and mysterious things that people still trying to reach. It is a secret land. But one thing is not a secret. It is the poverty. Most countries in the continent of Africa are suffering from poverty. It evaporates people’s happiness and joy. They live by hiding tears in dark eyes. Poor them. They need a hope to live, at least survive. Who does create hopes for them?
I have present you with some images of burning hearts in the Dark Continent. Sometimes it will lead you to create new hopes for these mini-beads.
#1
The vulture and the child in Sudan. This is one of the most popular images in the world which expresses life and hope on one screen. The child has to give up his soul in front of the hungry. The vulture is waiting to quench hunger. Sometimes it will have to stay for a long time or a short while until this child’s death. One’s death is the hope of someone. It is the nature.
After the child went to the heaven, the vulture can taste the victim. I’m sure the god will create a better plan for this child later.
#2
This child puts his eyes on something. I don’t know is it about his future or not. But I’m sure, it is a hope.
He doesn’t cover his foot and his little foot says the hardness of the surface he’s standing on. A Dusty rag covers his dirty little body. His destiny did not offer him a colorful life. If he got a second chance to win his life, this child will say how he reached the victory.
#3
Three little brothers. Look, what do their eyes say? The eyes represent their burning heart and losing hopes nicely. If someone listens to their hearts, they will write a sad poem and sing it sadly. Then people will cry after listening to this poem.
When other children in the world wish to enjoy Disneyland or Sentosa Island these kids wish for something to eat or drink some pure water. When will they dress a clean and shiny dresses? When will they wear shoes? At least when will they eat food properly? No one knows it.
#4
The generous child. Look at his eyes, his ambition is keeping someone’s mind happy. Although he has a thin body, his heart is wide and pure. Every child loves sweets. This kind of child gets sweets very rarely. But he offers one lollypop to someone. It is a wonder. His generous mind gives a message to the world. Please try to understand the hidden meaning of this attempt.
#5
I feel disappointed in myself. How much water I wasted within my life journey. Water, is a basic need of every living being. I can find pure spring water everywhere. But for them? Where do they find pure water? Only dirty water sources available for them. That mud mixed water fulfills their thirst. I don’t know how their digestive system accepts this dirty water. Poor children. I pray for them.
#6
The Smiling cutie. He just wears a red shirt without a pant. He sits on an empty yellow barrel. His eyes are twinkling. Seems he caught the happiness and joy. He has satisfied with what he got. His dirty cute legs describe his status on this earth, but he is smiling without considering it. he looks like a little prince who sat on a royal seat. Yes, this yellow barrel is the royal seat for him. No one can see it physically but few people can see it wisely. My little son, I wish this adorable smile saves your mind forever.
#7
Clapping boys with the dancing beauty. Please look at them, the grace of children’s world. They look like flowers that bloomed on the lap of Mother Nature. She has given them an innocent and adorable smile. These dirty legs express the joy of their lives. The dancing is absolutely cute. I can guess how talented they are.
These three cute faces have given me happiness. I wish a golden future ahead for them.
#8
The unity is a most precious thing in every team and gang. These children view their beautiful souls in this world. Their honest smiles represent every child’s nature in the world. See there, two boys have missed their best poses for the pic. But I’m sure they might spend this moment happily.
#9
Children in different modes. Someone is laughing. Someone is smiling. Someone is going to stop smiling or laughing. Look this carefully, one child is looking at something away. He is thinking. Sometimes about his future or sometimes about his destiny. Sometimes he is struggling with his own thoughts. Sometimes he will find a reason to smile. Most of the time he has to survive without smiling.
#10
A joyful smile is an invisible blessing. If you smile with someone honestly, they will feel happy. Look at this image, he has not a rich life, even proper dresses. He covers his body with a dirty rug. It doesn’t appear his heart. If we see it, we can realize how rich he is. He will return the blessing of the honest smile one day.
I have presented you with a few clicks of children who were born in the dark continent of the world. We can differentiate them as the color of their skin. But they have common living beings. Most of the time, they will miss their diet routine. A healthy diet is a dream for them. Not only food but also pure water. Poverty is not expensive in the world. Especially in there.
One day these children become adults. But who can ensure will they meet everything they want? I wish to see smiling faces of them but not tears. May their struggling and burning minds go away and may they find joyful minds forever. It is a wish for them.
