You are totally miss-understanding the intent of these photos.  As I 
explained, I'm showing these to young children who make a connection 
when the child in the photo is looking directly into the camera.   I 
do not believe these photos evoke pity at all. If I were selecting a 
set of photos to show people working and progress, they would be 
totally different photos.  That is not the intent of this selection.
