October 2000

These photographs show some of the UMCOR's recovery efforts in Mozambique, which suffered devastating floods in February 2000. At the right of the small pictures are links to larger versions in either web (low resolution, 72 dpi, 20-50K) or printed media (high resolution, 300 dpi, 750-950K) format. Those for the web have been cropped; those for printed media reproduce the complete original photograph. As noted below, some originals are vertical photographs.
