19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
COTTON CANDY

I was in Nepal visiting and exploring some Buddhist temples, coming out from one of the places I ran into this working kid, completely covered by his merchandise, I talked to him later after this photo and he confessed his brother and sisters were all working to bring some food home. He sold candy that her sister would prepare. They would work 7 days out of the week and have the rest day for themselves after the temples closed, kid was like 9 10.
