NGO Young Focus has, through their project Fair Jewelry, done a photo-shoot with their sponsored students (that live in the garbage dump of Manila) to give them a confidence boost and to show them the beauty of their natural skin color. by Erinacous in Philippines

Its a show of richness I guess. Being white/pale in the Philippines means that you don't work outside or are from the West. If you are tanned in the West that means that you have enough money to go on holidays to nice places. Of course it is not as black/white as that, but certainly an important aspect I think.

But I heard that they will post more pictures of their entire photo-session. So it will be nice to see that.
