Katutura
Katutura is one of the black townships created by Apartheid before Namibia's independence in 1990. Located on the outskirts of the capital of Windhoek Katutura continues to be undeveloped and poverty stricken. Unemployment, crime, illiteracy, and disease are continuing factors.
Each child in this school is fed both breakfast and lunch and also receives vitamins. These children brush their teeth at school as well. This is more than a place for these kids to be educated, Community Hope is a home for these children.
There is a lot of need for not only the people of this community but also for the school. They expand the school for their 7th graders they have now, can continue with education next year. They need support to do so.
There are currently 118 children who attend Community Hope school, and only 30 of them are sponsored. If we can get the other 88 monthly funding that would be a great start. If a monthly commitment is too much for you, any donation will go along way.
here are just a few from my trip:

Leave Tomorrow
Well, I sit here with my coffee writing a list of to-dos this morning. I leave tomorrow for Namibia, and it will take me 3 days to get there. I'm excited, I'm scared and every emotion in between. I have 3 books (Power of One, Brave on The Rocks and Letters to My Son) 3 whole living magazines, made myself a new journal and have plenty of gummy worms and ginger tea for the trip. I'll be gone for just short of one month, and I'll try to keep up with my photo blog while I'm away.
This morning I rolled over and grabbed my book from my nightstand and read this, It's inspiring:
"To be a real traveler you must be willing to give yourself over to the moment and take yourself out of the center of your universe. You must believe totally in the lives of the people and the places where you find yourself, even if it undermines your faith in the life you left behind.
You need to share with them, participate with them. Sit at their tables, go to their streets. Struggle with their language. Tell them stories of your life and hear the stories of theirs. Watch how they love each other, how they fight each other. See what they value and what they fear. Feel the spaces they keep in their lives.
Become part of the fabric of their everyday lives and you will get a sense of what it means to live in their world. Give yourself over to them - embrace them rather than judge them - and you will find that the beauty of their lives and their would will become apart of yours ...."
"...That is why we need to travel. if we don't offer ourselves to the unknown, our senses dull. Our world becomes small and we lose our sense of wonder. Our eyes don't life to the horizon; our ears don't hear the sounds around us. The edge is off our experience, and we pass our days in a routine that is both comfortable and limiting. We wake up one day and find that we have lost our dreams in order to protect our days. Don't let yourself become one of those people."

Amy & Tim
Spent my Sunday morning with these lovely two in Lake Mills.
I love Lake Mills, such beautiful buildings and everyone in the town is so nice. If you have never been, you should take a day trip, there is a lovely little Antique shop, a lovely wine vinyard, and coffee houses that are just adorable.
We walked around the downtown square with our hot cocoa (and tea for me) finding pretty spots to photograph at.
Their wedding is October 22nd, 2011 - and i'm looking forward to it.
Here are just a few shots from our shoot!
