Past and Present

Right beside the new house this family built with the support of Australian Aid and UN Habitat, stands the remnants of their old house; a vestige of what used to be before being assaulted by bullets and artillery during the final stages of the civil war. A juxtaposition of past and present, old and new, destruction and resurrection, the standing remains and the new house symbolize the inexhaustible tenacity of ordinary people and their extraordinary optimism for a brighter tomorrow.
