Photo by Varun Baker.

At some of Kingston’s main intersections, on any given day, you might see a pair of young men darting in and out of the traffic. One, named Joshua Brown, is in a wheelchair and his arms and legs are stumps, as he was in a car accident years ago. Another young man pushes him around in the wheelchair and they ask drivers for money. They are always smiling. When people walk by, they issue a friendly greeting.

Read an article about Joshua here. It is an exercise in testing yourself and your own spirit to think about these men; one who personifies determination (among other qualities) and the other loyalty.

A former Cuso volunteer, Varun Baker, has worked with these two young men to create a photo exhibit. Check it out here. Congratulations Varun, who is now showing in the National Gallery!
