Capturing the essence
Those were my comments the day I took this picture after visiting the Friday Mosque in New Delhi.
Before entering I saw a lot of children beggars in the streets.
Meanwhile I got two children Anne & Daan (8 and 6), who I take care of in co-parenting (50/50). Anne is highly gifted and has an amazing talent in drawing. Daan has been discovered to have a genetical disorder. Happy I had the opportunity for myself to spend a lot of time on his development problems. He is doing well now and had a special passion for music.
In my new life I last few years was a change strategist, teacher in a university of applied science, developed Debating trainings and worked on smart solutions in compliance.
Most important is I started as a student 2020 One MBA, a program conducted on 5 universities around the globe. It broadened my vision on the the world. Due to that I am involved in sustainability projects now.
And I resumed my passion for photography as an amateur.

entry description
"Today I see this girl. Her father has a job reaching out covering clothes to visitors of the Friday Mosque founded by Mogul Shah Jahan. She just ate a banana. So she is lucky. I also saw today the children beggars in the streets. Still processing. Feel sadness. And gratitude to experience how this looks like in real life. And for my own life and that of my children. Lets pray and make it happen that all children one day can have the life they deserve."Those were my comments the day I took this picture after visiting the Friday Mosque in New Delhi.
