HOW canONE make a difference in the world? ... The weight of the question itself overwhelms, and before an answer is formed, inertia sets in and the thought is dismissed, buried, hidden underneath the trappings of our everyday lives. Unfortunately, this is where most of us stop and give up. This is the great tragedy, because the answer to the question is quite simple: you start with one. One act. One person. One child. If you can change the path of a single life, you’ll be giving a gift whose impact will extend to every person who comes into contact with that one transformed life. In the summer of 2007, a team of photojournalists traveled to Lusaka, Zambia to try and document the plight of the children in Zambia affected by AIDS/HIV and poverty. This book is part of the result of that trip, the voices and images of the ones who shared their stories with us. But this book is also the beginning of a new foundation. Every book sold will go into the construction of a children’s village, specifically geared towards housing, educating and nurturing orphaned children. IAmZambia.org is a project of Awaken Humanity, a ministry of MOSAIC LA |
