Shoeless Romanian street child taunted by diplays of delicious food after checking the bins at a non-stop convenience store.
A shoeless Romanian street child is taunted by diplays of delicious food after checking the bins at a non-stop convenience store. A large proportion of the homeless are ethnic Roma 'gipsies', moved from zone to zone in the cities, but frequently congregating around the many 24 hour stores displaying huge, tempting food posters. When they acquire a decent piece of clothing, such as his bright red jacket, they will cling onto it even on a hot day like this; it helps disguise the poor state of their other clothes, and donators are less likely to notice the layers of socks used to replace the lack of shoes.
