It is amazing how kids manage to smile and make you smile even with sadness and misery all around you. Almost all of these pictures were taken either in refugee camps, make-shift field hospitals, disaster areas or below-the-poverty line hovels. And yet the children will smile and give you hope. There are too many locations here to mention all of them. Lets just say that it took my about 5 years to gather all these, travelling all over Pakistan for different media-related projects.

I really like these very telling (and charming) photos. While accentuating the large scale misery in various parts of Pakistan--through internal strife, natural disasters and so on--they also show how hope springs eternal in the human heart. And how the children show us the way, despite all that they have to put up with.
