Jolas

Jolas

John Lloyd, I called him. I didn't think it bothered him much.

This photo's for Jeepney Magazine. I'm not sure if it'll be printed. But I kinda like this photo. I like his confidence, his stance. As if he didn't care.

Jolas is a resident of Pangarap Shelter. He's counted 2 years and a half. That's not a long time to be in a boys' home considering others practically lived all their lives in Pangarap. He dreams of helping his family--his mother and 10 siblings. I asked him what he really wants to achieve/ to be, he said he wants to be a missionary, a servant. I thought I heard something else so I asked him again. Same answer.

Hopefully he gets there someday.
