Yolanda.

Meet Yolanda.

Yolanda is one of the first members of WGEF’s micro finance program. I had the opportunity to spend an hour one afternoon in Yolanda’s home with her daughter Whinnie and her grandson. A local WGEF volunteer, Kenneth, sat with me and translated as I photographed Yolanda and learned of her struggles with the LRA and her daughter’s abduction. Honestly, I did not pay attention to what our translator was saying because I was so intensely focused on the beauty of Yolanda as she sat beside her daughter while telling us their story in the low lit setting of her home. When our photo book publishes, Yolanda’s story will be told in words. For now, I’d like to share her story through my images.
