| As a photographer, I was asked to go to Ethiopia in March 2000 by Food for the Hungry, an established non profit NGO that has been involved in relief and development projects through out the country for over 15 years. My role was to produce images in an effort to help communicate the condition of the children and people in the areas affected by the drought emergency, unfolding across the country.

I spent time with project managers who knew the problems first hand. The villagers were their friends and they were personally involved in the lives of families and children. in any way they could. I was graciously invited to travel with them as they went about their assessment of the various regions. We traveled from village to village, looking for visual signs of the drought-be it sick or malnourished children or empty food stores.
