I think its a good thing when you are angry on your government or fall short for a few bucks to get the newest gizmo, to remember how much different and worse life could be.

This sort of thing hits much harder after you have kids of your own.

Aww darling, she does look so scared. :/ Humanity really won't be forgiven for all the fear and pain it caused such little children . . .

It's actually a little boy, his name is Adi. That aside, it is a very good reminder, just when we think our lives are terrible, that there's people else where going through things we couldn't imagine.

Around here people keep buying brand new cars and stuff like that while in some third world country, most people have hard time to afford their food.

Syria is a nation that is gripped by civil war. There's no access to healthcare, nevermind birthcontrol. Do you really expect people to stop having sex, simply because the situation is crappy?
