Poverty And Education

How & Where It Was Captured:

In the mountains of Quetta, Pakistan when I was with my friends on a trip I captured this photo with Canon EOS 1200D. I used following settings to capture this photo.

Settings:

Ø  Shutter Speed: 1/15 sec

Ø  f/5.6

Ø  47mm

Ø  ISO:  100

I love to use Snapseed app to edit photo because it is so user friendly and have everything an editor needs. This photo was a bit hard to edit just because of flames of fire. When the other part of the photo was looking great then flames were not looking good. Then I used its brush tool to set the flames which worked successfully and when I got satisfaction then I stopped my editing.

Story:

           Kamran is 5 years old child from Quetta, Pakistan. He lives with his family in his house with miserable condition  because of poverty. His father is worker have daily income of 700 which is like a drop of watering in the sea. His father is not educated but wants to educate his son in such miserable conditions of his life.

           The never ending problem of children in Pakistan is Poverty and Education. When they both combine they become a big trouble for them. Poverty’s effects are very dangerous which may lead them to lifelong struggles, especially it happens when children don’t get full education. Poverty and education are linked in a complex manner, they can’t be separate. Where ever there is poverty it is guaranteed you will find less education or countless hurdles in receiving education. We can see in our daily life that those children cursed by poverty may stop going to school and start doing work to cover their expenditures of life. This leads them “Illiteracy” which is a curse for whole life.

           Pakistan is a developing country and this is not only in Pakistan many countries are facing the same problem. The importance of education in developing country can’t be explained by any article. Education can be the only tool to pull out families and communities from this curse of poverty. Education also creates major difference for adults, especially when it is used in daily life, including nutrition, health, gender equity and human rights. Adults will become the role models to their children.

           Education is the only key to end poverty. Education can lead people to take smarter and life changing decisions about their children and their way of living. Education makes children to dream their bright future and their life without poverty.
