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
