Gift_Lone Survivor { 14 images } Created 2 Nov 2012
Gift was 13 when I photographed her moments after a rocket wiped out her family at a refugee camp in Monrovia. Today she lives in Pennsylvania, USA under conditions that might once have seemed a fantasy to her after being adopted in 2006 by an American woman. Although she suffers from post-traumatic stress syndrome, which inhibits her ability to catch up emotionally and intellectually to her peers, she is close to finishing high school and will graduate in June 2013.
