Powerful example on the power of photography in telling the poverty story, via Melinda Gates


I first saw this photograph as a high school student, and it’s both haunted and inspired me ever since. When I think about the daily realities of living in poverty—the uncertainties, the difficulties, the enduring acts of courage and love—this is the image I return to. This project from TIME is an incredible testament to the power of photography and its ability to tap into our empathy. http://m-gat.es/2g55Q3j
