THE STORY OF THE CHILDREN AND ALL THOSE COLLAPSED SCHOOLS

"I saw a butterfly fluttering between pretty shoes on the feet of a young girl which stuck from the rubble. As I pressed the shutter I mourned for this young soul and moved away to leave her be. The next day, I saw a mother searching in the rubble for her daughter; she sobbed as she told me she had forced her 4-year-old daughter to go to school that day although she said she felt unwell. She kept saying, “I killed my own daughter”, and begged me not to shoot pictures of her…" - Jason Lee, Reuters blog for its photographers
