Figure in the Ruins
'This building was destroyed during the fights. Now I am interested in politics because there is peace, during war I was not interested. I like the framing in this picture but not the place because of its destruction. Many years ago there was peace in Afghanistan, children did not need to work on the streets and they were able to study. Children did not lose their mothers and fathers. I cannot remember a peaceful time but my mother tells us stories about how Afghanistan used to be - people used to have a good life and all they could eat.'
Taken from Bibin, Kabul: Photography by Street and Working Children.
Aite Maya Rai / The Rose Class / PhotoVoice
Playing Happily on a Swing
'Here I am a refugee but I do not want refuge. I want wings to fly.'
Words by Devi Charan Pokhrel.
Taken from The Rose Class, Nepal: Photography by Refugee Youth.
Nguyen Hoang Duc / Street Vision / PhotoVoice
Early Morning Sunlight
Taken from Street Vision, Vietnam: Photography by Street and Working Children
Onesmus / Transparency / PhotoVoice
In Flying Motion
'It was a bit of a challenge for me to capture all the birds low down, in the same motion. I had to be patient and take my time. Lots of birds in this country are friendly and remind me of the parrots and wild animals in Africa. I took this picture in Green Park. Such looking places have changed my former perception of London. While still in Africa I used to think there were no trees in London. Because Africa is totally bush, people imagine London is so modern that there are no trees, no bush. Maybe people think there are no buildings in Africa.'
Taken from Transparency, London: Photography by Young and Unaccompanied Refugees Living in London.
