| Seven-year-old Tamba Mussa greets his mother for the first time in two years. Kidnapped and used as a child soldier by rebel forces in Sierra Leone, Tamba was taken back to his village by workers of the International Rescue Committee from Sierra Leone's Kono district. "His mother was so happy, she was dancing," said photographer Lambertson. "She didn't believe it could possibly be true."
