    very nice photo, can’t help but worry and hope they are selling the produce just to keep themselves busy and not to survive. If not its a pity at that age they should not be worrying where their next meal is coming from. Just saying..

    Nice DNO… Appreciating our elderly. The smiles on their faces sure got me to smile. Feels like they were all smiling back to me. It would be nice if our young folks would take a look at this pic and from it, get an idea of what “community brotherhood” is all about.
