It’s photographs like these that helps to make the world a better place for children. Outstanding work as always.

I love all your posts, but this one is special, beautiful and touching.
Thank you Stevebhai

Amazing job. These portraits are powerful and rich of poetry. Those children are everybody’s children, and we must love them as we love our own.
I mostrly appreciated Oralndo Aloysius Battista’s words:
The best inheritance a parent can give his children
is a few minutes of his time each day.

I feel that all children are my children and grandchildren. I appreciate your photos of children from around the world. I hope that we adults invest in their future with wisdom.

Such poignant, vibrant and moving portraits. I’m with Fred Rogers- we must help all children to reach their potential and keep them from harm. Thank you, Steve, for honoring them.

Oh my God what a beautiful work. I really love your art. A world of innocence you showed us.

Steve, I love all your pictures and all your thoughts behind them, but with this post you have reached my heart completely, and there are no many words… thank you!🙏
