After hearing Tim talk about everything going on in Africa with Ebola and other things involving the environment, I really wanted to look back at my photographs from Africa and re edit them and submit them for everyone to see what i witnessed. I saw kids who had flies eating at their faces and women walking miles to find enough water for their families.
In the United States, we don't think about how difficult it is to get water because all we need to do is turn on a tap… We don't have to walk miles to get food, water and even get to school or work. We know about over populated places but what I was able to witness and smell made me want to help people in other countries for the rest of my life. It changed the way I see many things that go on now a days and really made me more grateful for what I have and how lucky we are for being able to be in this country.
