An unexpected gift

As shared by @manosmitikas

"These two pictures were taken while filming for @discover.humanity in a small village in Cambodia. We take time to visit a primary school and play with local children. All the kids were laughing at the funny sight of foreigners with cameras." For the first photo: "We brought with us pencils and notebooks to give to local kids, many of whose families can't afford to buy them. This little boy was so excited by this unexpected gift that he gave in return such a beautiful smile!" The story behind the second picture: "After showing her some pictures that I had taken of her, this cute little girl continued smiling, laughing, and posing for more, at which time I shot this photo." "Our biggest responsibility is to create a better world for all children. Be inspired by their smiles."
