Bad Boys of Mankessim

i like the subjects a lot, very natural poses

i am from mankessim. i know most of the children in the picture.
those boys are not bad boys but victims of extreme poverty and bad policies of the government. their parents are so poor that they can not pay for them to attend school, so they visit the market to work for money...child labor is the word. i developedand desigened a rural outreacgh program in ghana to educate the parents of the need to sacrifice a little and how to take them off the streets ,they really need help. we have to help them
see pictures of our project at:

they remind me of the kids from the area i grew up in...
