Poverty

Hi there! I just wanted to make a quick comment regarding the photos I posted yesterday. I noticed that every photo that I posted was taken on the same day - our one-day adventure to Livingston. I was in Zambia and South Africa for four weeks, but found it difficult, if not akward, to pull out my camera in most places that I went to. It's hard enough trying to minister to someone when my skin and hair mark me as distinctly non-Zambian; it would have made it impossible had I pulled out my expensive camera - nevermind that it was borrowed. :) So I missed out on capturing a lot of the faces that really touch your heart. I do have a few pictures of real life in Zambia though; and I want to post one now.

My friend was treated to a helicopter ride over Victoria Falls as a special treat, and while up in the sky she took the following photos. Can you imagine living in such places as these?

Click on the photo and expand to see detail.

wow-- so humbling. i understand your situation, though. for 2 weeks i taught english at a pre-school in the slums of cambodia, and i only took one picture on my last day to really get the feel of what their living conditions are (my icon). i love hearing about your time in zambia and south africa... feel free to share any time!!! :)
