PHOTOS FROM PHILIPPINES 2008


“Behavior: The street vendor is blocking the passage of pedestrians and vehicles. He should sell his wares in the right place.” Yhen, age 13

“Problem: Hole in the street where people who are passing can fall into.” Napoleon, age 12

“Solution: People learn to walk properly on the sidewalk because they want to be in the shade and this sidewalk has a cover.” Roberto, age 13

“Behavior: Children playing in the streets are prone to accidents. They should be provided proper playgrounds.” Nympha, age 15

“It is dangerous for children to ride a bike in busy streets with bigger vehicles.” Michael, age 14

“Problem: This photo shows obstructions because sidewalks are supposed to be for people to pass. The sidewalk is meant for pedestrians. The sidewalk is not properly arranged so people are now walking in the wrong place.” Larah Jane, age 13

“The child might be hit by running vehicles because he is not crossing the street in safe designated crosswalks.” Carlito, age 14

“Solution: Pedicab boys show discipline because they are lined up properly. There is also a project for the benefit of the people and the environment. The sidewalk is so that people and cars will learn to follow and it will encourage discipline.” Larah Jane, age 13

“Problem: I noticed something in this picture: how can people pass if there are vehicles blocking their way?” Jhunrex, age 12

“Behavior: The people and vehicles can not get along and share the same space. There is a place where people should not be present and a place where vehicles should not be allowed.” Mario, age 14

“The car parked in the sidewalk blocks the way of the pedestrians.” Christopher, age 9
