It’s refreshing to see a project like this. Citizens in developing countries are usually photographed in a manner that makes them look “poor” or even miserable. Many of these people are happy despite their living conditions. They know no other way and don’t hold the same values on things that we do in the Western world.

Hi,

I really appreciate this project of yours. A thatched hut and rags for clothes has, unfortunately, become a symbol of poverty due to these “organizations” and their misleading, misguiding pictures. This has really helped me on a recent homework assignment that was a world poverty analysis. For extra credit, I have to include different perspectives on poverty from different people all over the globe.

All the best,
Ahmed
