I look so ugly but I don’t even care.
I’m in Nagorno Karabakh and I saw these kids playing next door to my hotel, in a ally.
I bought them a bunch of sodas, chips, cookies, and sweets along with a soccer ball and gave it to them.
These are the most amazing kids I’ve ever met. After talking to them for a bit my friend and I left. And hour later we get a call at the front desk saying someones here to see us.
These kids brought us presents.
They’re so poor, but they gave us presents anyway.
Ok that’s it bye

According to state stats the gender balance in Armenia is as follows
1-4 year Boys 85.9 thousand, Girls 75.2 thousand
5-9 year Boys 95.4 thousand, Girls 82.6 thousand
10-14 year Boys 110.0 thousand, Girls 98.0 thousand.
Not only is the birth rate dropping dangerously low, but parents are choosing not to have girls, by selectively aborting them.
