Seeing themselves on photos ...

Today I had the opportunity and time to give the photos that Barbara Wieland made, to the refugees. They were all delighted to see themselves. In Thugunui they are not used to cameras and they are even afraid of being photographed because here in the wilderness people often think that some magic and negative powers are within the cameras. But once they get the photos, they are happy. - Mama Matata
