MOH is looking to build a secondary school (high school). […]

I am in Africa. I can’t possibly capture this on film, and it’s far more beautiful than words can describe. I wok this morning to roosters and birdsong. Outside a massive palm tree sways gently in the wind. A mosquito flies around my head. I wonder if it carries some […]

This is video of the hospital at Mponela. Generally we think of hospitals as places people go to feel better, but this place was filled with desperation and downcast faces. It was humbling and devastating to see the conditions.

The second MOH village we worked at. This was a more urban area and that was reflected in the orphans (up to 1500 cared for by the center in addition to a group of widows). These kids were a bit tougher to handle but we loved them all the same, and the center […]
