These young chaps, all of whom come from problem and poverty stricken backgrounds, have been adopted by a local pagoda. By day they go school like any other child, but by night they learn ancient Buddhist texts and meditate. When all is said and done, however, they are just little boys and couldn't resist clowning around in front of the camera.
The colors in this image are untouched. These young monks wear orange clothes and the wall of their hostel was also orange - it was a photographic opportunity not to be missed. Taken in Go Vap District, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) Vietnam.
