Reality and Hope: God Within
Meghna (12)
Hendon School, London NW4

In the slums, where people just manage to eke out a living, rubbish and poverty is normal. But the godliness within people comes out even here. A man is sharing a bowl of gruel, his only food for the day, with a child. Two other children look at the scene. They live in a torn tent, with a small lamp, the only source of light in the darkness.

My picture shows reality: it tells us how vast numbers of people live in the world today, but however hard their lives get, they hope for better. God exists everywhere, in the actions of human beings.
