It is school holidays here now, and this is in the very poor part of the township. There were children playing everywhere on the streets when I drove through, as that is the only place for them to play. They have no gardens. I had to be incredibly careful - but what a joy to see all these kids playing outside with their balls and homemade "go-carts" instead of playing with electronic games like the richer kids. To me, this is what childhood should be all about. This is my childhood - being resourceful and making my own toys. This little guy's wheel came off, but he was all smiles when he saw me pointing a camera at him, and then he sat there in the road to repair his little cart. I felt a kind of "one-ness" with him, although I have now grown up to be a lot more privileged.
@julzmaioro Yes he does look happy - that's what made me feel this is what childhood is all about. This carefree play. He was obviously thrilled when he saw me stop and photograph him
