Reposted from @aureliasppereira • @childfund The spirit of the season isn’t about what we have, but who we have.

Wishing a very merry Christmas to all who celebrate, and happy holidays to all! May the warmth, joy and hope of this season sustain you and your family all year round.

Winter has come. Who knows how long it will last. A relatively warm day prompted a hike for Sophia and I through the Hanover woods.

Reposted from @childfund Did you fill a glass with water today? Eat a nutritious meal? Take some time to reflect on what’s happening in northern Kenya right now. With global water scarcity on the rise, this isn’t just their problem – it’s ours. Donate today at bit.ly/help-kids-kenya

Reposted from @luthworldrelief - To support her family, Suzan Nzabake upkeeps various crops on her farm to ensure a successful harvest. Everyday she tends to her coffee trees and anticipates how much she can sell. But her yields are too small to make a profit and she struggles with feeding her family of 8.

Your love today could help Suzan access basic farming tools and learn new techniques that will increase her yields and improve her family's income. Click the link in our bio to learn how.

Reposted from @childfundaustralia Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, ChildFund installed this water well in Samburu County, Kenya, in August of 2021 as part of its emergency drought response. It serves 310 households with clean drinking water, as well as water for small gardens and livestock.

Previously, when children and families could access water, they were drawing it from a dirty river that was a thirty minute walk away and a cause of sickness in the community. Even that option dried up during the 2021 drought when the annual rains failed to come.

ChildFund responded just in time to bring fresh, life-giving water to this community.

Check out my footage and photos featured in @natgeo 's new documentary, "Fauci." Sandwiched in between soundbites from Bill Gates and Bono is some of my work captured while covering HIV programs Zambia and Malawi for @catholicreliefservices back in 2014. You might know Dr. Antony Fauci as the high profile member of the White House's COVID-19 task force, but the world also owes him a big "thank you" for his successful efforts to deliver lifesaving anti-retroviral medication to HIV+ patients in the developing world.

Joy is choosing to respond to external circumstances with inner contentment and satisfaction. I came to northern Kenya to see the effects of a devastating drought, but saw a lot more smiles than I ever expected. I hope to remember the lessons learned here.
