Standout from a recent assignment to Ghana for @heiferinternational. That last minute glow of seemingly modified light that rakes the land before the sun fizzles below the horizon. What the image doesn’t convey is the immense physical work this woman puts into feeding her family. She’d spent the whole day toiling on a smoldering mound of charcoal to sell bags of it along the highway to Accra. . #everydayafrica #socialdoc #onassignment #NGOwork #foodsecurity . #Repost @heiferinternational with @get_repost ・・・ Not only did the gift of goats help Inne and her family develop sustainable income, but she and her husband, James, were able to make a financial plan to provide for food, education and health care to their daughter, Naawine, and her three siblings. #GiveHeifer
All lives are interconnected. To our veterans and fallen soldiers. From a story I worked on some years back in southern Indiana for The Courier-Journal about a soldier who perished from a roadside bomb while serving in Iraq. His parents went on to found and oversee a scholarship program for excelling students at his former high school. #veteransday #america
Close contact with kids like Getu, age 9, is what keeps me focused and in touch with the work that I’m doing. Vision loss in children inevitably brings with it a dampened spirt. To be an engaged witness of sight renewal, time and time again in various corners of this marvelous world — and to observe the door of possibility open — is a true honor.

Ethiopia full circle, thirteen years later. Shooting pediatric eye care and ophthalmic training for the next couple weeks here in Addis Ababa, the spot where I first joined on with @orbisintl over a decade ago and have returned many times.

Congo, DRC, 2010. Decades of medicine, strategy and funds put to work, we seem to have reached a point in time where light is visible through the dark tunnel of river blindness. Caused by a parasite carried by an infected Simulium blackfly, Onchocerciasis, or #riverblindness, used to wipe out the #eyesight of significant numbers of people in sub-Saharan Africa living near fast-flowing streams and rivers. #curableblindness #onchocerciasis #cornea #congoDRC #restorevision #blindness #NGOwork
Back in the familiar with this little ever-morphing, multi-faceted dreamer. And that just feels about right. . . #daddydiaries #traveltheworld #itswhatido #flyingeyehospital #photojournalist #homeagain #stateside #offtheroad #inthemoment #fatherhood
