The following photographs were taken with a pinhole camera made from an old whiskey tin.

In 2011, I spent four months working in Meru, Kenya for a small nonprofit, the Miriam Kanana Mubichi Foundation. I got to take on a number of responsibilities and projects and my favorite experiences were the times I spent teaching health and art classes to primary school students, researching malnutrition in a local hospital, and volunteering at a SOS Kindergarten. While there I lived with a four year old sister, her dog Fluffy, and her grandfather.

I’ve been to the Dominican Republic three times now, both as a student and a teaching assistant, with the Social Enterprise Institute. While there we partnered with Esperanza International, a local microfinance institution, to interview loan recipients and offer Esperanza suggestions to improve their programs. We traveled all over the country conducting interviews and these are some of the incredible people I met along the way.

Each donated pie sells for $25 and provides one client with a week’s worth of meals. Montilio’s Baking Company baked a 400 pound cake for the event which was held at the Prudential Center.

The following photos were taken over two month-long trips to Cape Town and Durban, South Africa. I know I’ll make it back there again one day.
