During our second visit to Kenya in January, 2007 we gave disposable cameras to the kids and asked them to give us a snapshot of their lives. They took us to places that we didn't go and described the photos from their hearts. They had never seen cameras like this before and enjoyed the experience of sharing their lives with us. -- Joyce Maier
