So very powerful. I love how ZanaA is addressing the social issues relating to these kids bodies, self-esteem. We are all God’s creation and He gave us those needs. Praise Him for ZanaA!
I’m also struck at the deep similarities to kids in America with those same deep needs. I think it reminds us we are all more alike than we are different. Just like family, whether you want to admit it or not, we belong to the same Father.

Powerful pictures and a powerful story. Another reminder that simple things that we take for granted can make all the difference when you don’t have them.

What haunting and evocative images…the light splashing against the darkness. Seems to capture the mission and work of Zana, yet another amazing work of God through people who choose to live brave not safe.

thank you for sensitively reflecting on the paradox of His life-giving beauty in the midst of an unjust and dying world. Images that we have experienced, you have been able to capture for us.
