400.000 eyes...................awake!

You lot really are awake!
Imagine...! 400.000 views today, and on Brazilian Children’s Day too!

Wow! That’s a lot of viewing since we opened our Flickr account last year.
So thank you so much everyone for inspiring us and, thanks even more to all those children who have inspired you to visit us at Flickr.
You all make this photostream an important resource for our organization, the Children At Risk Foundation – CARF, where we receive almost daily requests for the loan of images to various projects worldwide and are happy and proud that we are able to contribute in some way.

Our special thanks go to those of you who have been supporting our actions during this past year with your golden contributions. We love you all!
….and for those who have not yet had the pleasure, please join this group.

Today, October 12th. is Children’s Day in Brazil, an ideal moment to share a little solidarity with those less privileged. I can assure you of our appreciation. So will these kids.

Happy Children’s Day!
- Gregory, CARF

This shot is as wonderful as all the others and well worth some more 400.000 views!!!

Let's hope that today is not just used for the typical brazilian "feriado"-consumption, but for reflection of its meaning and children needs.

Wow, this is what I call portrait! I've watched your Children Portraits photoset and it's awesome! You're a very lucky guy to live in Brazil, in a real photography paradise. I want to call you a friend, because I think I can learn something new when I see your photos! Greetings, Toma

Sean Shimmel... It tastes like chicken is NOT a co says:

What subtlety in those bold, white eyes. The slightly indirect gaze and the sense of quiet (pride? defiance?) make this quite a nuanced shot.
