What does life look like through the eyes of a child photographer? Several sponsored children in eastern India were given cameras and a chance to find out.
Which photo is your favorite?
Photos gathered by Provashish Dutta, Field Communication Specialist
A special “thank you” to our young photographers: Ismita, Umesh, Arjun, Soma, Gloriya, Mandira, Joseph and Deepak.
I really like the tile mosaic. It’s always educational to see things from a child’s perspective.
I agree! I really liked the shot of the guinea pig. I thought it was fun.
I think though my favorite was the cemetery photo because for me it was unusual to think of a child being so near a cemetery to take a photo like that.
The modern bridge is in such contrast to the poverty that surrounds it. What we build, which should be love for our fellow man, is what a society values.
Reading your comment Tondja and looking at that photo again I am really seeing that contrast with the bridge and the boats below it.
My favorite is the image of the children all eating. It melts me!
I know, right?! Can we just head over to India now!
I love these posts where you show photos that the kids take!!
Thank you Hannah! We’re going to be posting several like this over the next few months.
I loved this! Wish there were more pictures to see
I may have to include one or two more next time.
There were so many good ones it was hard to choose!
How could I possibly pick a favorite? What a fantastic idea! This pictures blessed my heart.
The one in the cemetery is great!
I thought so too! That was actually my favorite.
Only through the eyes of a child! I personally love the photo with the children eating with their backpacks on.
Our sponsored child Namita is from India. Can’t wait to see a new photo of her soon.
All the photos are beautiful.
I am simply amazed that I have browsed through a group of pictures that are professional quality taken by children! I have no favorite. I am in awe of the photographers!
I agree Margo. Praise God for those photographers.
The bridge shot is spectacular. This child has an eye for photography. I love seeing the pictures of India; one of my sponsored children lives there and I don’t get to see pictures of where she lives. I also love the close up one of the child with the spool (of wire?).
My favorite is the one of the young child wearning the light blue shirt. The expression is the eyes is filled with mischievous adventure. Kind of asking the question: is it really OK to do that with this string?
HAHAHA! Love it!!
All of them are beautiful!
the bridge
They are all so beautiful!! I love to not only see the world through a child’s eyes, but also just see the world! Can’t wait for more these posts. Maybe there will be one from one the countries I sponsor in.
I love it,I wish they would do this in Peru where I have a child!
That’s one country we didn’t get photos like this for.
BUT we have a team of bloggers going to Peru next week. Tomorrow’s blog post will have more details about the trip. We’ll have LOTS of photos and hopefully some video to share as well.
Hi Marilyn! I thought you’d like to see this photo post from Peru:

I love these “through the eyes of a child” posts! It is so neat to get an idea of what a child’s life in another country is like. I’d have to say that my favorite of these is the first one of the little boy in the blue shirt…so precious!
I liked the one of the man walking through the alley and the children eating…they are all beautifully done, but those are my favorites. You should make a calendar with these photos on it…a different calendar for each country, and sponsors could buy those form their child’s country, and somehow income could be generated for the projects…just a thought! <3
What a good idea, Teri! I hope they do it! That would be do neat!
I’ll be sure to share this idea!
I liked all of them, but especially the one of the bridge. And the one of the cemetery.
I like the bridge and boat photo as it shows the contrast between old and modern, wealth and poverty. Very India.
These pictures are awesome, so well done that I could not pick a favorite. God bless you all! Thank you for sharing with us.
