A few more pics

Internet today is unusually fast, so I'm posting a few more pics from DRC while I can. Still enjoying life here lots. Have been working on a project with several local prostitutes-- trying to tell the stories of how they came to be where they are and how they hope to get out. One group of my students just finished up there first photo/audio story for the website. Hope to have them posted at www.congoinfocus.com soon.

This man and his siblings have lived with leprosy since they were children.



Three months ago, he lost his right leg.
