ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This photo is one of a series of portraits I did in 2015.
They were shot in an very poor and small orphanage with more than 40 children in Mauritania.
As photographer and an humanitarian volunteer, I tried to capture the immense number of feelings that were happening at the moment not only by the children but also by us, portuguese volunteers during our visit to deliver food and toys.
