Children who grow up in poverty often carry a kind of maturity etched into their still-young faces, an intergenerational inheritance beyond their years. The traces of sadness and witnessed trauma are written there, visible and unmistakable. And yet, beneath that guarded expression, the child still remains - appearing in fleeting gestures, in subtle displays of wonder they cannot help but reveal.
