I love this picture.

I took it while we were sitting with the children and teaching them to sew. The younger children were supposed to be outside playing while the older ones sewed bags but this little one snuck in. He was standing there looking shy and curious so I tied some extra string around his ankle and took a picture. He ended up running outside very excited to show everyone and one by one some of the other children would sneak in and stick out their ankles to me and smile huge when I tied little bows around their ankles. Every once in a while Vicinte (our driver who helped manage the children when we did crafts like these) would shoo them back outside but they would giggle and sneak back in for more string when he had his back turned. By the end of this visit there were about 20 little boys and girls running around showing off their little ankles with bows on them.
