| 50 years of injustice
Tibetans and their supporters in Dharamsala held protest rally to mark 50 years of Chinese oppression in Tibet on March 28th - the day in 1959 when China seized complete control over the country (Chinese call it “Liberation”). Hundreds of people with Tibetan flags marched from McLeod Ganj to Dari, where members of the Hope Center (NGO) performed a short skit illustrating interrogation and torture in Chinese prison in Tibet.

| Children of Gazela
In the strict centre of serbian capital, under the biggest Belgrade bridge Gazela there is a huge slum settelment called Cardboard city (ser. Karton siti). Nearly one thousand Roma people, refugees from south Serbia and Kosovo live here in the houses built from cardboard or some other non-building materials, like plywood or nylon bags. They don’t have running water, sewage and electricity. Among them there is about 300 children which don’t have any perspectives and chances for better future.

| In search of a better life
The Philippines, Manila, 2009. Overpopulation in southwestern Asia is a very well know problem. There are about 16 million people living in Manila. Many Filipinos decide to leave their poor provinces, and move to the ‘rich’ capital to start a new life. They usually manage to find a job but their salary, of about two dollars, doesn’t allow for anything but a very simple meal. They live on the streets and all they own is a couple of plastic bags. In such system children are the ones who suffer the most. They spend all their time on the streets and eventually get into alcohol, drugs and prostitution. Copyright Adam Kokot / Babel Images |
