A picture recently snapped by medical student Joyce Torrefranca and posted to her Facebook account was inspired by 9 year old homeless boy Daniel Cabrera doing his homework by the light of a McDonalds fast food outlet in Cebu city, Philippines.
Daniel is not letting his lack of opportunity hold him back; wanting to become a policeman, he diligently does his schoolwork while his mother works at a restaurant across the road at night.
Joyce told Philippine news network ABS-CBN "This kid, he doesn't have anything but he has dedication to study" apart from his makeshift wooden bench and the light shining through the window from McDonalds.
This snap has gone viral, Daniel had lost his father in a fire that destroyed his home, his sibling is sick yet this young boy isn't letting his situation beat him - his determination is truly inspirational.
