I love traveling with Medical Teams International because their medical training and interventions are so darn tangible and easy to see and support. Nice work MTI–you are making a huge difference in Cambodia!

Tanzania

Continuing the theme of posting Water Mission shoot photos, the last I am going to do now in this series is a trip I did to Tanzania a few months back. Tanzania is one of the few countries in sub-saharan East Africa that I had not already been to, so I was excited to see a new part of that continent.

I thoroughly enjoyed this country and found the highlands to be one of the most peaceful places I have ever been to. And of course, the WMI work was fantastic, helping so many people have access to safe, clean water. It certainly makes me thankful for the clean water I have in my own home. See their work in the field for yourself:

Nepal: A Scene of Hope

Thulodhading, Nepal - June 19, 2015

Whew! I’ve been busy these last few months. Lots of trips, lots of images. Here is an attempt to catch up. As I mentioned previously, the day of the Nepal earthquake my phone rang to see if I could hop on a plane that day to get to Kathmandu. I was already enroute to Thailand, so I had to turn that offer down. But recently I was able to circle back to Nepal with Water Missions International and see the fine work they are doing. Read about that trip on the WMI Blog. Here are a few photos from my amazing time there:

Water, Water, Everywhere

Urco Mirano, Peru - February 8, 2015

I’ve been shooting a fair amount lately for a group called Water Missions International, and as you might have guessed, they do clean water installations (and health and hygiene work) around the world. As I’ve shot for them now in Liberia, Tanzania and now Peru (where all these photos are from–stay tuned for the other countries) I’ve been duly impressed with their work. It’s changing lives. Nicely done WMI!
