Do you wonder why many go hungry, when others have more food than they can eat? Why some children have a better start in life because of where they live? Or why some get healthcare when others die of curable diseases?
The World Bank invites everyone ages 14 and up to “Picture Inequality”, a photo contest capturing expressions of inequality in the developing world.
Enter a creative photo with a short statement for a chance to win a $500 digital camera and an opportunity to show your photo to the world!
