morning hikes
this photo was taken on our first morning hike in Matopos. The following evening we climbed up here in the near dark, carrying our packs and picking up firewood, to sleep out under the African sky

home visits, Nketa, Bulawayo
Every week, volunteers from the Center check in with the children on home visits throughout the area. The younger children are being watched today by their older brother (12 years, center), who had to stay home from school today while their mother went out to buy mealie meal. Their father passed away from AIDS two years ago.
The volunteer on the left is also an accomplished vocalist with a local Christian Acapella group, Shalom Ad-nai.

Duncan Road
A house further down the street where I live. After taking this photo, someone told me it was the home of a remarkable woman who wrote poetry.
