Pond Hero (Carolina Vargas Reis)

Our little protagonist, a courageous rubber duckie, dons a golden medal upon its chest. Yet, this is no ordinary medal; it bears a profound essence. Within it lies the image of a slum-dwelling child, surrounded by a modest tin house and a faithful dog by her side. This photograph encapsulates the dearest possession of the duckie—a constant reminder of the forgotten children that society has cast aside. The marginalized, the unseen.
