Images of Zimbabwe


An African mud hut!



I had to go around the world to milk a cow!



Playing volleyball with some students from Ekuphelini Bible Institute.



Beauty speaks for itself.



Arja and a new friend!



Rebecca - probably one of the most beautiful people I have met. Not long ago, she was on death's door because of HIV/AIDS. Now, thanks to ARV drugs, she is regaining her strength!



I had the privilege of praying for this woman. Unfortunately, she will probably die of AIDS.



At the peak of Lupate - a local mountain.



Arja saying goodbye to the Grade Zero class at Mshtabezi Primary School. There were 83 children in this class with one teacher.



More school kids.



Cynthia - an 11 year old who stole our hearts.



Vuio - the son of our Zimbabwean hosts.



What's in the backyard? Oh, just some clean laundry drying on the line...and cows.



The Danhoundo Family - MCC Country Reps in Zimbabwe, originally from Benin, West Africa.



The pictures that follow are of Shelton, Magret and Concilia - 3 young children (the oldest is 12, I believe) who live on their own. These are 3 kids - kids who have been orphaned by AIDS - that I will never forget.

Hey there little brother! These photos are awesome. It's wild what a powerful statement / impression they can make without words (nice touch with the black & white). I am anxious to hear more detail.

Glad you like the images! I think most things look better in black and white.... you'll start seeing more of it as a common theme in my video and still image work. :)
