I'm sharing some more photos taken during last week's clothing distribution. The characteristic faces of the Turkmen people keep intriguing me and I like these particular gentlemen for their friendly smiles. I often look at how often the clothing is repaired as an indication of someone's resources (or the lack thereof).

very interesting portrait. I like the opposition between the friendly smiles and the impression of poverty given by his clothes

Truly nice, I know the turkmen people from Qalay-i-Zal, a district near by Kunduz, these people are that polite and friendly, like your picture is demonstrating that.
