This series was shot over two trips to the western provence of Zambia with Empowered by Light. We stayed in a beautiful preservation and environmental education camp run by ZEEC on the banks of the Zambezi, about 6 hours down an unpaved road outside Livingstone. Livingstone is home to Victoria falls, the largest falls in the world and absolutely breath-taking in it’s awesome power. Even more so at 2500 feet in an open microlight. We spent the bulk of our time visiting schools and distributing solar lanterns with our guide, friend and local minister Joe Mwitumwa – pictured here on the hood of his Defender. This allowed for incredible access to the community and an authentic picture of day-to-day life.
