Zimbabwe Pictures

I posted the gallery HERE.

If you have a few minutes, click through each image and read the captions. I told much of the story of the trip just through the words written under each picture. I will however, blog about the trip…hopefully this week.

My favorite: the view from my deck at Shumba Shaba Lodge. We stayed in thatched huts build into the cliffs.

    Darren, Thanks for sharing such amazing pictures. I am speechless and still processing the vast divide between the sheer beauty and the suffering. Wow.

    The pictures are amazing! Someone else said it, but the paradox of such beauty and pain is remarkable. It must have been really something to be a part of and witness day in and day out while you were there. Forgotten Voices is such an awesome organization. To know that regular people are doing extraordinary things in places with problems bigger than I can imagine is truly incredible to see and gets me thinking about what I can do. Thanks for sharing!

    Darren,
    You are truly amazing!!!!!! Those are fabulous pictures and so amazing there from what it looks like. Your support and help along with your friends, I’m sure they loved. That’s great. I’m so proud of what you do, your fatherly love for Livi, your 1st job, your photography, and last but for sure never ever last, your Anthem of Hope. Amazing for all that you do.

    Love, Aunt Amy~

    Thanks for coming, my friend. I know God is going to use your immense gifts that you have contributed for His glory, as we work hand in hand with local churches to protect vulnerable kids like Neatness.

    As I continue traveling, know that I walk with a bounce in my step, KNOWING that God is faithful. Thanks for walking part of these roads with me. :)

    Lots of love from Ndola, Zambia, Ryan

    Thank you for sharing these photographs. Your gift truly depicts the beauty of the land and people in Africa as well as the struggling and suffering and the proof that hope is always around! God bless Ryan and all those involved in this ministry and the many others that are bringing hope to Africa.
