Image of nine-year-old studying in a Philippine car park attracts a flood of donations, but many kids are not so lucky.
Under the dim light of a McDonald’s car park in Cebu province, in the central Philippines, a homeless nine-year-old boy Daniel Cabrera was photographed doing his homework on the pavement.
The photo was posted online and soon went viral - attracting thousands of dollars from donors all over the world.
Cabrera's mother says her son's future is now secured, but he is one of the lucky ones.
