Even though I went to Ethiopia for World Vision’s magazine Childview a year ago, I am constantly amazed at how relevant the trip has been to my life on a daily basis. Everyday I think about the communities I encountered, the stories I learnt, and the girls I had a chance to get to know. To many aid workers I encountered, hope was and continues to be a lifestyle. I was awestruck to see the incredible impact World Vision had in the communities from food security to maternal health to AIDS awareness and education.

The article called Scarred by Tradition was about Female Genital Mutilation. Recently I was pleased to learn that designer Carol Moskot and I won Canadian Church Press awards. First place for Feature Layout and Design (Magazine), and Second place for Colour Photo Spread (Magazine).

Above you’ll see two photos from the spread. You can also check out the original article in Child View written by Nicolette Beharie here (pages 16-21)

Sad City,

these days of distance,
in a city we called our own,
we trekked through streets,
we made them our homes.
Eye Weekly, Stroll- November 20, 2006  
This was a really fun shoot. I when urban exploring under the DVP and through the park by the towers. Later I found out that one of my friends lived in one of these towers as a child.
