He had dreamed of traveling since he was a child and when he grew up, he decided to make his dream come true. The young photographer’s income is not much so he cannot afford to travel constantly.
The first country John visited was South Africa. The prosperous African country has impressed novice travelers. He then decided to go to one of the poorest countries on the continent

A young photographer meets a little girl on the street. John Cary took some pictures of the child and decided to give them to her parents. He was surprised to learn that the girl was homeless, living on the streets and eating raw from trash cans. Sometimes passersby feed her.
Somali girl.
John Cary decided to help the girl. The only way out of this situation is to adopt the baby. Paperwork takes a lot of time. But thanks to his perseverance, John was able to take the Somali girl across the ocean.
The adoption process was difficult, stressful, full of hope, and completely changed her usual way of life. For the first time, the girl could not adapt to the new environment. In addition, she does not know the language at all. John helped her overcome all challenges.
