Children evoke emotion more poignantly than most of God’s creation. I think it is the relative innocence of youth, the wide eyed wonder, and their helplessness that makes their surroundings more important.

This mothers expression, one of quiet dignity, rarely fails to give me a sense deep respect for those who live in far poorer conditions than I do.

Taking photos of the children in Uganda means being crowded by hundreds of little ones. They jostle and push for their turn in front of the camera. This little girl seemed suspicious, but posed for me anyway.

While walking around the Kissinjugi market there in Soroti with Dr. Guimon, we passed this littel girl sittin under the awning of a small building. I shot the photo from the hip. It feels like she is asking me something, I’m just not sure what.

On one Saturday afternoon, Dr. Guimon took us to a small market in the neighborhood near where they live. We walked around, passed out tracts, and greeted folks. I took this little girls photo as we were walking around. The look on her face is innocent and a little expectant,…

The little girl is from a village that was decimated by Kony several months back. She was the most beautiful creature, with such fine features. The very picture of elegance.

The moment has such poignant intimacy. It was taken that first Sunday morning at the IDP.

Morungatun is an IDP camp located about 30 kilometers North-West of Soroti. On our first Sunday (5/22), we drove out to the camp and Pastor preached. Conditions there were poor, but better off than in some places. Dr. Guimon had recently been able to supply them with seeds and potato…
