The Photo Inspiring The World

A photo of a homeless boy using the light from a McDonald's restaurant in the Philippines so he can do his homework has gone viral with a lot of people saying the boy has inspired them. 

Medical Student Joyce Torrenfranca spotted Daniel Cabrera doing him homework on the pavement in Manila. 

She then posted the image to Facebook, saying Daniel had inspired her to work harder.

Since then the picture has been shared thousands of times, with people reflecting how even basic living standards are taken for granted. 

While Daniel's father died and his house burned down. He is often seen begging with his mother in the area but this shows his determination to get an education. 

"As a student, it gave me an inspiration to work harder. I seldom go to coffee shops to study, but this kid just hit me," said Torrefranca.

One of Daniel's teachers, Rosalina Detuya, described him as "a happy child".

"He is also intelligent and actually answers during class discussion, he really participates."
