A view from Jesús continues

Jesús has been taking more pictures than can possibly be shared on this blog alone. There are improvements in his skills and he has even started experimenting with the video features on the camera.

On Monday, Jesús went with our team back to the Men's Restoration Centre. Last week, two of them men in the center advised Jesús not to take drugs, even if a pretty girl offered them. Jesús took this advice serious and said that he would never take drugs. On our return, one of the men who advised Jesús last week, told us that having given this advice to Jesús he now felt more motivated to complete the program. He shared with us that he felt that if he told Jesús not to take drugs, he had to follow that same advice. He told us he felt encouraged to finish, and stronger in himself to be able to see through what he started by coming to the Restoration Center. This gentleman is standing on the right in this picture, taken by Jesús.



Jesús has also taken many pictures in Jasmin. All of his friends and family live here. He has spent his life here, and his pictures are simple and show the world in which he has grown up. The following pictures show his world from his perspective. In many ways, it shows more easily life in Jasmin, than words can describe.
