These kids were outside of Julies Bakeshop constantly begging people for some spare change so they can eat some bread from Julies. I have seen them a couple of times from afar. They are always within the area near school. That day however, together with some classmates, we took the courage and decided to feed them and talk to them. Now remember, I am not really someone who easily goes to someone I don’t know or have no connections with so this was a rare opportunity for me. So, I took this shot and we asked the elder one a couple of questions. She told us that her parents abandoned them so they had to live with their uncle and aunt and since they had no place to stay, they slept on the public waiting areas, and lived on whatever peso anyone offers them. The title points out that they are not sad and depressed with their condition as long as they have each other. We all need someone, be it a brother, a sister, a father. a mother.or a best friend. We need someone to say to, “I’ve Got You.”
