I am posting this message here as the power of Flickr has proven
a tremendous social-networking tool to creatively collaborate and
cross-support missions both in the field and at home.
I will be returning to Rwanda and Uganda August - September this year (2011).
Please get in touch with me if you or someone you know might like to
collaborate--I photograph and write and help bring awareness, raise
funds for good work being done by good people for good people.

Mama Mukantaganzwa Rose, her youngest children, and eldest daughter Solange Nyinawumuntu in their home. Many of the images in this series reflect the sisters and their families requests. This is one such image. Sister Rose wanted her family to stand in front of this tapestry which she really treasures. Sister Rose is one of the sisters who really warmed to me instantly. I suppose her motherly warmth and experience explains why.

Taking portraits of the sisters and their children inside their small homes was a challenge. Often, there was not enough space to accomodate them and me, the
photographer, so we had fun pushing chairs to the side, or having me crouch or stand on top of tables, etc. I have to say, though the sisters often look serious in
these images, for the most part, there was no short supply of laughter. When you look at these photographs, I want you to realize that the sisters took great pride
in sharing their lives with me. I am grateful for their generosity.

I consider Rose a sort of matriarch, and I look forward to watching her children grow up, hopefully with more opportunity than their mother who survived a genocide,
and had struggled much of her life to make ends meet.
