The air is consumed with what seems like a thousand taxis blowing their horns as they whiz by, dangerously close. Tiny old men, all skin and bone, pass us pulling their rickshaws while motorcycles weave through the traffic with concerning speed.
We are on our way to visit the homes of some of the children we’ve been [...]
“This little girl just came to me last week,” Jasmine says. “Her stepfather dropped her off because he didn’t want her anymore.”
I glance over to see which child she is referring to, and notice that it’s one of the youngest girls that captured my attention within minutes of walking through the door. She’s absolutely stunning, [...]
Just children.
Right now they are sweet, young kids, with beautiful eyes and dark-colored skin, whom I am privileged to teach. They laugh with me, they stare at my crazy blond curls so unfamiliar to them, and they tease one another. They are kids.
My eyes gaze at them through the lens of my camera while their precious [...]
Little Indian men running around,
Constant horns, filling the air with sound.
Strange looks and stares, and sometimes glares
Overwhelmed by so much that feels unfair
India is a nation that shuns Her begging children, while also endorsing it. Some of the street kids are forced to “work” on behalf of their parents (or owners, depending on [...]
The time to pack my bags and head to the airport has finally come. Staying up all night in hopes of sleeping well on the plane, I am focused on getting through security and settling into a seat. My flight from Charlotte to JFK is great; I end up making friends with the stewardess, discovering [...]
A man sells coconut in the streets of Calcutta to provide for his family.
What can you do? Pray for him and for our Silent Images team of photographers headed to Calcutta in February. Email Elizabeth at elizabeth@silentimages.org for more details.
“You really can’t understand how someone call sell their daughter until you understand the history of this place,” Ali tells me.
Yesterday we went to the killing fields. A horrific genocide has just ended here in Cambodia, and the wound is still fresh. While the killing ended in 1979, the leaders of these crimes were never [...]
“This is the youngest right now,” Ali tells me as she picks up this sweet girl to carry her as we walk through the slums to greet others. “She’s five years old, and she can hardly walk sometimes. She can’t sit down and she usually walks kinda funny with her legs all spread apart … [...]
Once the feared witch doctor in one of the worst slums of Cambodia, this man’s life was turned upside down when he heard a local pastor tell him about Jesus. Shortly before this photo was taken, he and his wife both accepted Jesus as their personal Savior, and he was ecstatic to share that over [...]
It’s a rainy Friday night and this bar-lined alley would usually be hoppin’ by now. I’ve come to take advantage of free wi-fi and to grab some dinner nearby at one of my favorite little restaurants.
I also brought my camera with me, hoping that I’ll be able to work up the guts to pull it [...]
Completely exhausted, my first night in Cambodia I am invited to join a few others on an outing to go visit some of the girls in the red light district. We hop in a tuk-tuk (a motorized, open-aired means of transportation) and begin our evening at a local hotel/bar. The girls at this particular bar [...]
