Books!

Monday we delivered the teacher resource books and textbooks to the school. It looked like it might rain so we unloaded the books on the covered ampitheater area. Immediately the kids came running from the playground to see what we were doing. They helped unload the boxes full of books and proceeded to choose one and sit down to read! The sound of each child sitting quietly reading their own book aloud was amazing... just a hum.

Mery this is fantastic. I'm so touched by your pictures. This is exactly how I would document to share with the world, so it seems so real to me when looking. You do a great job at capturing the face, the eyes, the emotion of the person, along with their surroundings. You've inspired me to do more and not with Photography but with my gift.

Thank you for sharing.

Wow. Again, love the happiness you've captured in the eyes of these children. Not only did you give them books, but you've opened doors! Absolutely beautiful :)
