Inequality or Injustice?

I selected this picture not because it specifically represents missions well, but the story behind it and what is going on in it does—which in my previous blog I explained what Young Life was.

I’m not really sure how this picture could create inequality or injustice. Maybe because there aren’t girls in it, which we do have a lot of at Young Life, they just weren’t in this picture. Any picture could also do injustice if that isn’t how the specific person wanted to be portrayed. On one hand these kids are having a blast at this moment, while playing a fun game of charades, but this also could be putting on a façade that they don’t have problems and life is all fun and games. I guess any picture can have a number of different meanings, hidden or seen.
