If you asked your child what their most prized possession was, what do you think they would say?
My friend Mama JJ is currently in Guatemala with her family serving a mission through her church. JJ, her husband {Mr. Handsome} and her 4 children will be gone for 9 months.
And while doing good deeds and learning about other cultures is really cool, when you are nine years old, and away from home, and the only possessions you have are clothes and books, you kind of miss your toys. A lot.
At the heart of it, every child needs a toy. Any kind of toy will do.
And so when Judy from Australia sent me a link to a photo essay about children from around the world with their most prized possessions, it made me think of my friend JJ’s daughter.
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE these kinds of stories!
Here are a few more interesting photo essays I spotted on photographer Gabriele Galimberti‘s site.
