What in the world does all of that mean? I photographed most of these children while working on mission projects in developing countries. I've also worked on mission projects here in the USA and have photos of those, too, which I will include. For these particular talks, I'm telling school children about how children all over the world have more in common than outward appearances would lead you to believe. I tell about the families I've stayed with and the people I've met in 53 countries. I really don't understand what you're objecting to. Tina Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com
