Taking a selfie with a chappal

I saw this last week on Twitter, the image has stayed with me, children improvise and re-enact all the time, but the poignancy of this wee boy using a chappal (flip flop)  to take a selfie is enormous. The smaller boy seems to be wearing sandals that are too big for him, and on the wrong feet.

Too poor to own a mobile, but not too poor to pose for a selfie. This is as sad as it is heartwarming. pic.twitter.com/xocPFQQqtN— Iyad el-Baghdadi (@iyad_elbaghdadi) 30 July 2016
