Prized Possession Photography

10 Commandments of Gratitude With Cameroon Kids

— March 31, 2009 — Social Good
It's a thought-provoking photo session and the message is strong and clear: acknowledge the benefits that you receive every day. In Cameroon, a few children ware invited to show off the most important possession. This is how "The Ten Commandments of Gratitude" came to life:

Françoise - 11 years old posing with her Sunday church blouse.

Obam - 11 years old proudly showing off his bamboo car.

Saf - 6 years old with an orange cup from which he drinks his water.

Jacqueline - 21 years old, gently holding a photo of her dead mother, the only possession she has.

Humility is a virtue, it removes the ego and makes one aware of the qualities that others possess.
