I recently had the opportunity to travel to the Ivory Coast, to document some of the responses to the ongoing humanitarian crisis there - the result of post-election violence that ripped through the country late last year and early this year.
Despite the sombre reasons for my going, here are a few images that remind me what it's all about...
Don't forget that as you are reading this - sipping coffee or tea, sitting in a chair surrounded by your loved ones and many blessings - over 12 million people in the Horn of Africa are in desperate need of humanitarian aid. PLEASE head on over to your nearest charity website today and make a donation - no matter how small, every little tiny bit helps. It costs only 50 cents to feed a child for a day - $20 could provide water for 90 people for a day - and only $40 could feed a child for an entire month. You CAN make a difference - please do!
