This is a site that never fails to pain me. Actually there is nothing wrong if a child does some work to assist his or her mother to cook, wash utensils and fetch water. I remember doing that as a kid. Now me and my school going daughter help my wife cook quiet often. But the problem is the children I see in the photograph seem to be from a rural village and such children are not sent to school and are made to work from morning to night in kitchens and are often abused. This needs to be addressed by the society.
A lovely image. And this may indeed be hard work, but I find it refreshing to see young people out in the natural world, using their bodies rather than staring at screens. That, to me, is a lost childhood.
Great shot! Sadly it´s girls work to carry the water. When I traveled across Laos I saw just one boy carrying water, he was blind so had had to go with the girls… I think it´s the same in India.

I think their world is unimaginable to kids in North America. The photo tells quite a complex story – the gray areas in between, not the black and white or good and bad of it.
Excellent photograph. It’s amazing to see how children in other cultures really help assist the family in accomplishing daily tasks. I think it would be so beneficial if kids in some other countries could understand how fortunate they are. Your photo is one reason why I took my kids traveling at an early age just so they could appreciate how their life is compared to others.
I’m not a photgrapher, but the probably the sun rays on the older child is prompting her to give strong looks. Rural children assist their parents in daily housework, wonder how many city children do that…only if they find time away from mobile and TV.

Wow. I wonder how heavy the jugs are.
No idea.

I agree with you.
Beautiful photo, thanks Joshi! <3 Gorgeous children. Blessings, Debbie
Thank you Debbie :)
You caught them with very natural expressions, Joshi. Beautiful.
Thank you Jane :)
Great photo!
I wish these children had the barrels that carry 24 gallons and can be rolled to and from the water supply. http://www.spellboundinc.com/rolling-the-way-to-better-water-access/
Thank you :)
That looks like cool and easy way.
The irony captured beautifully..
:)
What a wonderful photo; I love it!
Thank you Naomi :)
Awesome photograph!

Très beau portrait de ces deux fillettes.
Bonne journée

Life is not so easy for them!
Yeah, depends!
Amazing
Thank you :)
WOW – Stunning – beautiful!!
Thank you :)
Good pic (Life is not easy for them)
Thank you :)
Another wonderful people shot, Joshi. They look hard at work on a hot day. Safe travels :)
Thank you :) Yeah, seemed to be little heavy for them.
So charming a double,full-size portrait displaying interesting cultural details,dear Joshi!
Thank you :)
Another special…is it bad? Not sure, wish I could do it , with so upright a posture! Bless them and you.
May be it was a little heavy for them!
as always beautiful photo, Joshi :-)
Thank you :)
Oh my. The expression on their faces has caught my eyes.
Thank you Andy :)
Lost childhood…. 😶
Excellent shot though
Thank you :)

I think I totally agree with you cate. We think that the children in the cities have a great childhood.
nice click, but sad state of affairs
Thank you :)
What a horrible life we let girls in our country live.
Hmm.
The irony captured beautifully.
Thank you :)
Wonderful picture that brings conflicting emotions in your followers.
Thank you :)
mind-blowing photography!
Thank you :)
as usual pic is good. But kids should not be subjected to such hardships.
Thank you Shoma :)
But I feel even the privileged kids go through a lot of mental hardships!
Amazing photo!
Have a nice week-end!

Thank you :)
The Girls are so brave ! great capture :)
Thank you :)
a telling
story :-)
Thank you :)
They are so cute!
Yeah :)
Do they have to walk far? Beautiful photo. Heartbreaking that so many in this world still have to work so hard for Water. Thank you
Not sure how much the had to carry it. But it looked a little heavy for them.
Nice photo but sad that people in developing nations lack what we take for granted – running water.
Yeah!
Harsh realities of life!
Yeah!
It is sad to see these little girls leading such a tough life.
Hmm.
Lovely shot, but it looks like hard work. And why no boys helping out?
Yeah, a little hard for them.
This shot reminds me of how profoundly their lives would change if they had treated, running water at home.
Yeah!
Contrast between color of dress and sorroundings came out very well.
Thank you :)
The very soil looks arid. But the girls add life to it.
:)
Love this catch ! A beautiful shot ! Well done !
Thank you :)
I love their colorful clothes! Beautiful children!
:)
I love most of your pictures, but there is something about this one… I think it is beautiful!
Thank you :)
Great shot! Sadly it´s girls work to carry the water. When I traveled across Laos I saw just one boy carrying water, he was blind so had had to go with the girls… I think it´s the same in India.

Hmm.
Nice shot.
Thank you :)
A fetching reminder of life’s lottery that for some, having fresh clean water is hard work, or unattainable.
Yeah!
Hard working children
Yeah!
I suppose they know nothing more than this kind of life! The “privileged” kids have much to learn from them.
Yeah.
A lovely study in grace and innocent beauty!
Thank you :)
Nice
Thank you :)
Merveilleuse vue de ces enfant qui doivent porter et aller cherche l’eau sueprbe.
amitié
Thank you :)
Life can be hard .. but there is much beauty here
Yeah!
Seeing a child hard at work is unfortunate.
Mmm.
Lovely.
:)
And at that age, wearing that footwear.
Yeah!
Very moving, Joshi!
Thank you :)
Oh Joshi amazing to see. I wonder if my children now grown would have wanted this for their chores.
Thank you :)
wow, your photos are amazing..
Thank you :)
I think their world is unimaginable to kids in North America. The photo tells quite a complex story – the gray areas in between, not the black and white or good and bad of it.
Yeah, it seems people from different places react differently to this image.
Great capture. Their expressions, their pose, all so natural. Lovely snap.
Thank you :)
nice
Thank you Dileep :)
Wonderful Joshi!
Thank you :)
Great captured.
Thank you Rupam :)
Cute kids! Such grace
:)

That is great to know.
Such a good composition and tuned color.
Thank you :)

Yeah, I agree.
Wow! This is an amazing photo.
Thank you :)
Such a strong image. Seems unbelivable that people have to walk to get water…
Thank you :)
