'Mother and child' Northern Rwanda. By Rebecca Zachariah & Melinda Kerr

This is a compilation I have done with Rebecca Zachariah after our trip to Rwanda. In a nation of shattered souls post genocide, hope remains in the form of new life. These people have witnessed death on massive scale. You can see how precious they consider life from this shot.

    baby is so small and precious (no worries here about baby designer clothes )...Lovely moment in time ….......eye opening and thought provoking ….

  • gillsart

    The empty space on the left (to me) symbolizes the void that this crisis has created ..maybe through death of a loved one or another type of loss…............

    Hey gillsart that’s a really interesting observation. I think I’ll pretend I meant it that way all along :)

    i witnessed a masacre of native animals in Australia by my fathers hands. Australia is loosing so many species because some people are plain power hungry assholes. They massacred the Aboriginal people because they were power hungry ass holes.
