Photos of a beautiful child beggar taken by a photographer in Calabar

Just the other day, a friend of mine and I were discussing life’s arbitrariness and how we should be grateful for where we are–even if it’s not where we want to be because where we are is where some people wish to be.

I do not believe it’s a coincidence that this morning, I woke up to this picture of beautiful Lebanese children begging for alms from motorists on the street. Although, it’s quite common place in Lagos, I admit I haven’t really given it much thought until my musings with my friend, and these pictures of photographer @Lilian_isih who came across some of them, and then took their photos.

She captioned the photos;
“Met this incredible soul on the streets of Calabar begging for petty change… Such beauty shouldn’t be on the road! Let’s tweet until something is done about taking kids off the street! #childnotbeggar”
