Kids of Krusha

Kids of Krusha, originally uploaded by rdpaul.

These kids live in a village where all of the adult men above the age of 13 were rounded up and killed before NATO stepped into the Kosova conflict, five years previous to the time the picture was taken.

The old women were despondent but the kids were intensely full of joy and life, as a reminder that no matter how sad or tragic the past may be, life and hope are always reborn in the children.
