Congo from the inside

Story

Congo. Country of contrasts, where the chic hotels and restaurants coexist with poverty of the local population. African Market - the heart of daily life of local people. A child sitting on the counter - pretty symbolic image, as often children are the source of income of parents. What compels a mother to kick out her child, as soon as he starts to walk, into the streets to beg?
- You'll not get a food until you bring a money!
Many of such parents do not even try to look for work. And they have not only one child. Who can become a child with this upbringing in the future? Only such parent.
Africa's problems do not lie on the surface, they are buried deep within.
