The daughter of a young widow washes her hands in non-potable water before having some tortillas for lunch. Her father died in a traffic accident a year earlier, leaving three daughters and a wife pregnant with their fourth child. With nowhere else to turn, she turned to Corazon para Honduras (Heart to Honduras), a local Christian organization that networks with mission organizations in the United States. Missionaries from Kansas spent a week in Honduras building a new home for the widow and her children.

I like to take pictures, and (to paraphrase Elliott Erwitt) I particularly like to take pictures I like.
Lately I've been taking the pictures I like in Mexico and Honduras, but plan to expand my horizons as finances and opprotunities allow.
