In the middle of nowhere, in the middle of Salalah, indian teenagers at sunset play soccer.
It felt no different than a random group of kids playing soccer anywhere in europe, except for the fact that they woke up at 5am that day as everyday, to help their fathers farm the lands, grab all the fruit and bring it to the market by 6.30 am. At 7am their real work would start, mainly masons, bakers or tailors; at 2pm back home for another farming session until 5pm, all this for less than 5 euros a day, enough to save money and send it back home to their family with a hope one day to get married and have kids...
An ordinary day for an indian teenager in Oman.
