A WFP photographer reflects on the kindness of strangers, despite hunger and hardship
Taking a break from photographing a family for the World Food Programme (WFP), I stood outside their home in Zimbabwe’s second-largest town of Bulawayo, lost in thought. In these moments, I reflect on the stories unfolding before me, taking mental notes while savoring a quiet moment and a banana.
Suddenly, laughter erupted, snapping me back to reality. I turned to see twenty-one-year-old Preacher dancing with abandon, eyes alight with joy.
