day 1: journey to ethiopia
In Houston, about to board flight to Amsterdam
Hello from Ethiopia! I've decided to share instagram photos until I get back -- so here are the first from my journey, with a SoundCloud of my morning impressions, below. Enjoy!

I'm in Ethiopia at the kind invitation and expense of The ONE Campaign,
a nonpartisan, advocacy organization dedicated to the fight against
extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa. ONE
works to convince governments to invest in smart programs that help
eliminate poverty and preventable disease in a sustainable way. During the next week or so, I'll be supporting a group of parenting bloggers
by capturing images that tell the story of how the organizations for
which ONE advocates are effecting real change in Ethiopia.
If you're moved by anything you read or see here, on the ONE blog
or any of the ONEMoms' blogs and you'd like to help, please consider
adding your voice, and join ONE by simply filling out the surprisingly
short form in my sidebar on the right, at the very top.
Your information will remain confidential, I promise. And if you're
already a member, and would still like to help, I'd love if you'd spread
the word by sharing this post with your friends and followers.
That's all there is to it. Because ONE never asks for your money, just your voice.
