Girls are the Best, by Ryszard Wierzbicki

This photo was taken when I was in Muang Noi area, Laos, December 2012. I met this little girl in a very remote village that can only be reached by boat, which I visited with my guide for giving school tools to the Kids. She was was so proud and didn’t want to take any gift from me.
