Jean de Dieu Ngirabaganwa Jardon is a filmaker in Rwanda. He and I remain in contact and I want to share his work with the world! Years ago, Films Without Borders/ filmswithoutborders.org brought him to study in London.

To read more about John's work and to contact him, please go to ngjadon.wixsite.com/home

The kids insisted that we take a break from editing photographs on the laptop and take a few photographs. Here you see the latest toy at the orphanage, proudly worn by John: my sunglasses. The little guy in the foreground is Kilagi which in Kinyarwanda means "The Deaf One" but his real name is Leon, and he's also mute, and boy is he expressive. And smart!
