My talents as a photographer were a gift. In response to this gift I am giving back to people in need in the best way I can, through my photographs. I am blessed to be living in a country that supports my family and myself. I have a heart for those with little to no opportunity. If you are willing, please help support the people I am able to touch!

Current missions raising support:

Zambian Villages: Sinafala, Siamoono, and Siamazila

Our team visited these three villages in November 2011. We met with local leaders to discuss how we could help their villages through a series of economic & sociological projects. In all three villages we discovered the Zambian people are extremely passionate about the growth and education of their children. They realize their future lays with them. Second to the children they expressed interest in help with basic living essentials, food and water. Our team came back with a rock solid understanding of what it is they need and how we can help them get it! While we have already donated the funds to build a school, we are looking to sponsor more children to provide funds to send them to school, build several more wells, purchase a boat for kapenta fishing, purchase and build a hammer mill site as  well as several other potential projects still in production.

Guatemalan Villages surrounding Lake Atitlan

Upon arrival to Guatemala, our team will connect with the IMPACTO staff and immediately begin preparation to deploy us to the specific project. Our plans are flexible year by year due to the uncertainty of what may be required upon our arrival. Plans tend to change at the last minute in Guatemala! In the past we have lead vacation bible schools, and built homes for widows and/or victims of landslides. Every year we purchase shoes to hand out to the attendees of ‘Happy Feet’, a mission to distribute shoes to those who can not afford to purchase them on their own. Regardless of where and how we are deployed, each year brings several families closer to living a life they deserve. One without worrying about how they will protect their family from the elements. Your support will go to help purchase the building supplies, shoes, food for the family we are supporting or an entirely new project we will discover once we arrive on location!

500px for Missions!

All print and digital download purchases made through my 500px account will go back to the organization associated with the image to help future work in the area! As of April 10, 2012 you will only find images from Africa, we plan to add images from Guatemala soon. Images are sold as 24×36 inch gallery wrapped canvas prints and/or digital downloads (personal use only). The gallery wrapped canvas prints are 207.99 and digital downloads are $3.
