Liana at Bulawayo Theater


Went with nearly 100 children from the Center to see a performance by the King George VI (KGVI) band, Liyana. Each member of this marimba band is a student at KGVI, a school for individuals with physical disabilities. The music and energy of this band is inspirational
I was first moved by Liana in November, during their rehearsal at KGVI

Francess Ruvarashe Saunyama


the biggest welcoming smile
bringing people closer with bright eyes
holding onto hands and hearts, no matter age, color, religion

may her memory be for a blessing
