The Kids of Shkodra, Albania

Do you think YOUR kids would be so happy to go to the cabbage patch on a chilly day in February and pick a wheel barrow full of questionable looking cabbages, and then push them all the way home across the river and up a very steep hill?

It's Carnival time and these boys are still celebrating! Aren't they adorable?
I wonder what these boys are discussing on their way home from school? No school buses for these kids.... they have a long walk home in the cold.


And the girls- like kids everywhere these days-- carry backpacks heavy with books!

Not only cannot think of kids who would willingly do this - i can't think of any adults either! LOL

Backpacks with heavy books you say? Remember these are Albanian kids. Their backpacks are filled with AK47s and hand grenades.

What great photos! I was just looking at International teaching possibilities... Albania is not a place I really know...maybe I'll learn more from you.
