Hi Thomas Tham. Could i have your permission to use one of your photos on the front of a Christian leaflet with a bible scripture written inside the leaflet. I want people to be aware of this terrible crisis and for people to pray to God to help us to help those in need. The photo i want to use, is the one of the two brothers sitting on the steps asleep with one brother holding the other in his arms. This will not be used for profit of any kind.
Thank you Thomas Tham for your permission to allow me to use one of your photos for my Christian leaflet. May God bless you and help others to support you in your good works. David Bennett.

My god… no words. AWESOME IMAGES!
Your pictures are awesome, show too much about our real world, is an excellent way to show our kids how our planet works.
Good pictures.
really heart touching Clicks, very nice
we neeed to know more
The one with little boy with his baby brother in his loving arms both asleep on the steps really got me – just the sheer instinct of love, even the responsibility of love over the baby brother with all those adults walking past and him seeing them do nothing…having lost both their parents…it does not get any more tragic than this…the future..what future…
[KJV]Mar 10:14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
