    Part of the human experience is diversity of surroundings. We 

        wanted to show you what the surroundings are like, for 

    different Adult Survivors of Child Abuse around the world. In 

   this issue, get in on the Zimbabwe experience, as members of 

       a women's support group, share about their surroundings 

    through pictures and in their own words. We hope that you'll 

                                      be uplifted.

   I love the group! I am so lucky to have 

  found such a lovely bunch of ladies with 

  different stories, bound together by our 

 crazy emotions, and our need to finally be 

heard without judgement or pity. We are all 

aiming to make peace with our pasts, to stop 

   the cycle, and to control our negative 

 emotions. We want to be the best we can be, 

 so that our precious partners and children 

 do not have to suffer the way we have. What 

a brave bunch of ladies to face such horrors 

 and fears, and actually do something about 

                     it!

     "This is a typical view from my home. I love the space 

      and sunshine, feeling grateful to still have this little 

      piece of paradise. In a place where there are so few 

     people and buildings, it's very special to be able to get 

            away. I can truly relax and evaluate life." 



"Matopos National Park, not far from where I grew up. I loved 

                   the escape of climbing UP!"

"I love the smell and coolness of the forest. Our group often 

 goes walking in forests like this, as well as the lovely pine 

forests with wonderful nature smells and quiet underfoot."

"We enjoy the wildness of the flowing river, wondering where 

 it ends up, listening to the rushing sounds. We usually have a 

picnic here, sometimes swimming in the extremely cold pools, 

                      and have hot tea."

"Hwange National Park, near where I was born. The park is also 

home to Lions, Giraffe, Buffalo, loads of types of Antelopes and 

 so much more. When I am surrounded by animals, I am always 

        reminded of the bigger picture and to be present."
