Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC)

In the summer of 2002, I first journeyed to Ethiopia. It was a defining moment that propelled me to look at the world and my purpose in a deeper manner. I discovered a life of service in Ethiopia and I want to share that—to inspire others as I was inspired by the children of Ethiopia. Their strength of spirit is palpable and life affirming. Thus, my aim is to chronicle my endeavor to affect change in the lives of vulnerable children in Ethiopia and the inner growth that has brought to my life.

From Nov. 25 to Nov. 30, 2009, a group of us traveled to Ethiopia to follow-up with the orphans and vulnerable children I serve. These are photos of the substandard living conditions impoverished women and children are forced to live in.
