Description
PD: Reproduction of original photograph by Dorothea Lange 1930's: With the forces of exploitation and callousness that cheapen human life, and drives people into poverty, those with the means to address the conditions of poverty should believe that hospitals and clinics should be built instead of churches, and organizations geared for private gain. That deeds and actions must be done instead of self serving prayers, and useless good intentions, and realize that poverty is a by-product of greed and avarice conducted by a few.
In a country that is governed well poverty is a condition to be ashamed of. A country governed badly, wealth is to be ashamed of.
This photographic composition should hang in the public lobbies of all Giant Corporations, seats of governments, and banks, throughout the enlightened world as a reminder that the vagaries of life, birth, circumstance, choice, and misfortune, and its consequences may befall any of us. Any and all proceeds from this reproduction shall be donated to help alleviate poverty in the city of Butuan, province of Caraga, Mindanao, Philippines.
