Such images are sometimes referred to as “UNICEF” photos . Children with big eyes are always touching. This image is from Tamara-Diana Braunstein, established in New York. She moved to Dakar, Senegal,  for a  job as a teacher in the great Africa. Now, after two years of Africa, it works in Dortmund and Bochum. The image is not to generate pity, but to show the beauty, the pride and joy of life of people in Senegal. This is clear from the contents of the book, Tamara has written about this unusual two years.
This blog contains basically no commercial ads and things, but for this book in my mini-publishing company, I would like recommend this book  (currently in print, subscription price of 10%). I read the vivid descriptions carefully and with joy. All in English, but with 86 color photographs of Tamara. No one-sided enthusiasm but critical view of daily life, religions and culture.
Note: There are few other blogs without commercial: here is a photographic blog by Thomas Pindelski
