Hill tribe children / people
Sapa is famous for a beautiful mountainous area, but also known as one of the poorest areas in Vietnam with the so basic living conditions of the 6 minority groups. Everyday parents and children either work at terrace, or sew their costumes, or sell hand-made products to the travelers. Those minority people do not know how to manage their income, therefore even some of them can earn amount of money, they still stay in a very poor, low living conditions. It is not hard to see dirty children on street having nothing to eat, playing with buffalos, throwing rubbish everywhere, and they do not have a bath in four months during the winter.
