'Seva' (pronounced as 'say-va'), is a sanskrit word referring to the selfless service performed for a
cause without expecting any form of personal reward; benefit; or, recognition.

I was fortunate to have been given an opportunity to take part in some of these 'seva' trips to remote
villages in Indonesia. The main purpose was to distribute food; clothing; medicine; etc. to the less
fortunate.

As usual, I had my camera with me and I took these shots when I had some time on my hands. It is
interesting to see how contended they were with so little...perhaps, we might be able to learn from
them.

Note: The pictures are all candid in nature as no attempt was made to 'pose' the subject in any way
whatsoever. I have concentrated mainly on the children as I found them very interestingly
expressive. Curious; playful; excited; apprehensive; and, never masking their emotions.
