Every child you encounter is a divine appointment.
Every child comes with the message that
God is not yet discouraged of man.
You must work — we all must work —
to make this world worthy of its children.
– Pablo Casals
The soul is healed by being with children.
Anyone who does anything to help a child is a hero to me.
The best inheritance a parent can give his children
is a few minutes of his time each day.
When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments —
tenderness for what he is and respect for what he may become.

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 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.
The children’s portraits are beautiful. Thank you for posting.

No kid is unsmart. Every child is a genius in something. We, the teachers, have to discover it and encourage it.
