19 Adorable Photos That Expose The Reality Of Sumatran Childhood
You Will Be Hard Pressed To Find A Sumatran Child Without A Smile On Their Face.
This is what photographer Joanna Polling found upon her trip to South Sumatra. In her own words upon collecting her photo-series: “The people we met will stay with me forever… Almost everyone we encountered had a smile to give. And they loved having their picture taken. I miss it already.”
With every photo, came a different smile.
