Changing the World

My family rocks. Seriously. I've been SO So lucky to live with my aunt and uncle the past few months and I have learned so much from them and appreciate them more every day. Ann served her mission in South Africa and then lived in Nigeria for another 3 years doing humanitarian work. She has such a great heart, I love her so much. She got lucky and married one of the greatest guys ever. John is a rock star. He fully supports her in everything she does and now they both work with the The Ouelessebougou Alliance.



They left yesterday for a 2 week trip to Mali to help evaluate the needs of the villages that the foundation supports. She sent me some of the photos from their trip last year and I am obsessed with them. She is a great photographer. I edited quite a few of them for her and these are some of my favorites. Sometime I am going to go with them and help. Don't those faces just melt your heart?
