Description
There are over 400.000 Syrians only in Istanbul (1.5 million in Turkey), after the civil war has begun in their country. Turkish people spend a lot of money for those camps but those people leave the refugee camps and try to live like a human. However, they don't know Turkish, their culture is different. They have no chance to work but only begging or stealing. It became a social trauma. Turkish people do not show the sincere hospitality when they first came. Both sides are not happy. No one is guilty but war...What will happen to all those people, children?
This little boy was only sitting there in the rain.

A sad little boy!Β
Can nobody tell him of love?
So far from his home,
He sits huddled, no one to share
his unlooked for misery.

Their situation is worse... At the same time, some of them create a lot of trouble here. Mafia, murder, theft, etc..
It is not easy for any of us. War is not good for any of us...

I totally understand AND agree - "war, what is it good for?" politics and arms manufacturers...

hombre claro!! xD Esto es una estratagema para debilitar a sus rivales de forma indirecta. (RUSIA, CHINA, SIRIA...) Europa lo hacen para que la gente europea odie a los musulmanes. A EEUU le viene eso genial. Cuando acaben con Siria, los rebeldes ganan (los rebeldes fueron engaΓ±ados tambien por EEUU dando testimonios de que Al-Asad es anti-democratico, pero nadie sabe que Al-Asad es presidente, no dictador, concretamente es de un partido socialista muy moderado y laico), EEUU deja de financiar a ISIS y listo. EEUU acaba con ISIS facilmente y asi queda muy bien en las noticias. Sale a gobierno en Siria "democraticamente" un aliado de EEUU para que asi pueda poner bases en Siria de forma estratΓ©gica contra RUSIA. Ya que Al-Asad no quiere que EEUU ponga bases en su pais

Hi,
First, i Love your works, so sensitive, true, respectful...
I hope my english is not so bad.
I would like to use one of your photography to make a graphic support which will use it to make a flyer for the organization of a collection of clothes , childcare etc that will destine to refugees from Syria and Afghanistan .
We are all volunteers from france,Β mostly artists ...

If you look at the comments, some other people also asked the same thing and promised me to send the poster/graphic (via e-mail is possible, too), but they did not. If you give me credits and send me the graphic/poster, I can give you permission for sure. The subject is very important for me, too.

Although I didn't include appreciation in the video but I plan to add that later on underneath the video after compiling the names of all the photogs. And maybe in the next video I'll try and do that.
And I may go through your work later on and see if I can use one of your self portraits for one of my songs if you don't mind : )
Thank you ! God bless.

Thank you so much Canankk for your good works ! It takes one to be passionate enough to snap shots like this. And may God bless you for all your good works. Sorry I didn't inform you before doing this but I used this image and a couple others to create a music video for one of my songs titled " So Peace Could Reign ".
I was browsing thousands of images to find a perfect match and it took me many days to put it all together to fit the lyrics. I also selected pictures as I was led by the spirit because some pictures were spiritually disallowed even though they would fit in.
So thank you once again for such a powerful image. And here's a link to the video.

OK No problem for using my photo in your video. Generally I refuse the offers without giving credit but I liked your video

What a powerful image Canankk!Β
I'm a SAHM/ Freelance Designer in Manitoba, Canada and I'm part of a volunteer organization to try and find private funding to help bring families over, find housing, jobs and integrate them into our community. We're having a concert at the neighbourhood theatre and I was wondering how you would feel if I used your photograph? The composition of it is absolutely fantastic along with such powerful imagery. If you're comfortable with that, I'd be happy to send you the final along with a photo credit on the poster. Best regards, Beth Gillespie Winnipeg, Mb

Hi Canankk, I couldn't figure out how to respond on the note so I'll write it here.Β
I'm creating a poster to put up in my city to help raise 60,000 to bring 2 families into Canada. No one is being paid for our efforts, all the money is being raised privately to help since our prime minister has said that he's willing to take in 25,000 Syrians by the end of next year. A bunch of popular bands are playing for free and I thought that perhaps you would be willing to let me use your fabulous photo on the poster to promote the concert.Β
We're also organizing a drop off for house supplies and clothing for any refugees that have just arrived to help take some stress off the other organizations working on helping the Syrians who are soon to arrive.Β
Hope that makes sense.Β

It's a constant challenge to not become misanthropic... Very good photo. May I ask if you helped him in any way (other than spreading the photo)?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I did not help him. Mostly those children ask money but this boy did not even turn his head. I thought I might hurt his feelings by giving money. I tried to talk with him but he did not know Turkish.
I am glad that you like the photo. I just hope this photoΒ creates awareness. It is also a kind of help, I suppose...
