In the Moment of Joy

As I approached, the half-sisters, Thoko and Esther Nyirenda, burst out laughing, their gazes playful and curious. I picked up my camera, and their smiles turned to wild, uninhibited joy.

Thoko remained seated, her eyes closed in pleasure, while Esther leaned back, caught in the moment. The laughter continued even after the photo was taken, stretching into the air, an echo of their joy.
