A Shepherd Girl, by Ryszard Wierzbicki

I took this photograph at Muang Ngoi village in Laos, when I was visiting a distanced community that could not be accessed by the regular road, back in December 2012. So, I went there with a box of sweets and school tools and entered into the village full of Kids. Many of the kids were enjoying our presence, but this girl in the photograph was watching their domestic animals around her household.
