the photo room

Okay, so I know this is actually what everyone has been waiting for: the Kenya Project photo group! I just set up a project room for the Kenya Project on Snapfish-- a room for ALL of us to share our photos, videos, and projects with friends and each other.

I have set the room up on a password to establish a minimal amount of protection and privacy. This should be simple to remember: gideon.

Enjoy!!

Please keep in mind that Amy and I will be offering several of our photographs printed on archival/gallery quality paper, with the possibility for matting and framing. We are hoping to use our passion for photography to raise funds for the project during the holiday season. If you are interested, please let us know.

Also, please be judicious with whom you share our photo room and how you choose to use the photographs. We are more than willing to share and spread the love of our trip, but the images within our space are ultimately copyrighted by the "artists" unless otherwise noted...and that goes for ALL our artists!


Looking forward to seeing our trip through my teammates' lenses...and always, love hard.

And together we win.

We were graced with a recitation of the following poem by Maryann, one of Mama Robi's orphans, and again at the dedication of the children's home after a small group of students put on a play about the effect of AIDS on families. Aunt Lynn thought everyone would enjoy reading it again-- it is something we likely will never forget.

The mention of your name
Shakes my whole body,
Death, separation and destruction
You have cast in my village,
Then to the country and to the rest of the world.
AIDS, do you have mercy?

You have made children orphans?
You have made women widows?
You have made men widows?
You have kept everyone destroyed?
AIDS, do you have mercy?

But we will fight you,
By chilling and shillings,
By abstaining from sex,
Saying no to sex before marriage,
Being faithful to one another,
And together we win.
AIDS, do you have mercy?

our cute little alpha male

Thanks to Dee Ann (who may be our most avid blog reader) for sending this photo of the male lion showing off his mane and feigning interest in the tourists. He belongs to the first pride we spotted on our first game drive.

Enjoy!
