Photos of the starved
The rich are increasing day by day worldwide, but so are the poor. According to the United Nations' "The Millennium Development Goals Report" in 2008, more than 100 million people will soon suffer in absolute poverty surviving each day with less than a dollar to spend on basic necessities. In step with the upcoming International Day for the Eradication of Poverty on Oct. 17, Korean NGOs' Network against Global Poverty and Seoul City are hosting the photo exhibition "The Innocent World." The network has been conducting the White Band Campaign, a worldwide movement to fight against poverty since 2005, in Korea. This exhibition is a part of it. Three Korean photographers - Seong Nam-hun, Lee Sang-yeob and Han Geum-seon - showcase 36 photos of the troubled areas around the world where children suffer from hunger, war and discrimination. The sad eyes of little boys in the photos will make you stop at the show for some moments no matter how busy you are. The photos, printed out in large size (190 cm wide and 118 cm long), are lined up along Gwanghwamun Plaza in central Seoul. The exhibition runs through Saturday.
