Before offering a single sweet, the girl stopped.
The video shows her, ready to start selling right there on the street, bowing her head and taking a few seconds to say a prayer. After that, she begins her workday. That’s all: a brief pause amid the noise of the street.
The images were shared on social media by AddaL Velazp and caught the attention of thousands of people, who saw the gesture as a show of faith and hope. The scene also prompted reflection on children who, from a very young age, go out onto the streets to help with their families’ expenses.
So far, the girl’s name is unknown. What is clear is what thousands saw in those few seconds: a girl who chose to trust before starting. An emotional act of faith, or something a girl of that age shouldn’t have to go through?
