From his series Faith in Chaos
I have been capturing the lifes of Sierra Leonean youngsters whilst they are creating chances for themselves in a land where opportunities are very rare.
Most amputees were found by patrolling Nigerian peacekeepers, who took them to capital Freetown in the backs of their trucks. Two thousand ended up living in Murray Town Camp. Twenty two boys got themselves together and trained eachother into the Amputees Soccer Team, now a sportive force the nation has to reckon with. Through soccer, the boys have regained their pride and self-confidence. They learned that with their abused bodies they can be even stronger than before. I want to document how far their stamina will get them in life.
