On the Streets

On the Streets - XIX, originally uploaded by carf.

Robison and Eduardo in 1998, seemingly enjoying themselves on the streets, but the smiles on their faces only hide their dispair and gives them hope of a better future awaiting them.

Today they are both recuperated and live independent lives. Their colleagues, who can be seen in several of the photos in this series, are already dead and gone!

This Video Clip, which includes intervues with former street kid Robison, was made by American teen reporters from Strive Media Institute in the USA during their visit to the Hummingbird Project in São Paulo.
