Equal opportunities

Title:Equal opportunities

  The meaning  of this work  emphasizes that all people should be treated equally irrespective of race, economic status etc. For example in the above artwork of children are selling fruits, they have the knowledge to attend school but have no opportunity. Therefore chances should be open to everybody such that we all compete within the framework of goals.

Thanks!!
