The heartbeat of Otino Waa

The first time I went to Africa, it seemed so far away. But today, a little less than a week after arriving back in the U.S. I'm realizing that it's not so distant and foreign. God has given me so much grace this week and although jet lag has made me a little out of touch with reality, I'm adjusting back to life.

It's been incredible to sort through my photos and relive all the moments that these photos offer a glimpse into. Now that I have internet access I'm uploading more photos, but unfortunately they're now a bit out of order, so please bear with me.

These images are shots of the general life and heartbeat of Otino Waa.
