This image depicts a group of school children, who were seated in the lunchroom of a metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia primary school taking their daily lunch break, during their school day activities. Having purchased his lunch at the school’s cafeteria (see PHIL 18500 through 18515), this young African-American boy was photographed as he was eating a freshly peeled, sectioned orange from his luncheon plate, which also included a fresh lettuce and tomato salad, steamed broccoli, ground beef chili with taco chips, chocolate milk, and pudding.

Met this wonderful group while touring the village.

Found myself massively impacted by these people in a remote region of northern Kenya. Life is hard, water is a few kilometres away in a dried up river bed and these girls walk there and back a few times a day.

Got this shot while on a medical mission trip in Haiti. Love the smile of this boy!
