12 Captivating Pics From The Global Photo Series Showing “Where Children Sleep”

Published 1 month ago

English-born photographer, James Mollison, created the book “Where Children Sleep” with the intention of giving his readers a glimpse of the inequalities faced by children from different parts of the world, by showing the differences between their bedrooms. 

The project aims to capture the vast differences between each child’s circumstances, from luxurious to destitute. There’s the little girl from Japan whose mom spends $1000 dollars on dresses monthly and then there’s another little girl from Nepali who has slept in a granary since she was three years old. 

Published in 2010, the book covers living conditions in countries such as; the U.S.A., Mexico, Brazil, England, Italy, Israel, Kenya, Senegal, Lesotho, Nepal, China, as well as India and aims to create a sense of appreciation for those who are privileged to have better conditions and to be aware of the vastly different circumstances people have to live with.

Shanilou is a free spirit in the world on her own journey. She believes that we need to heal the world like Michael Jackson said and that all the world's a stage like Shakespeare said. She believes we all have a role to play in making the world a better place and hers is on a beach island with a tropical climate; at least for the moment!
