Footsteps To Healing Book Published

We are pleased to announce that our book, Footsteps To Healing, has been published! This book relays the intimately personal stories of three Ethiopian women and the maternal health issues they each endure. In the book, we also outline solutions to help alleviate and heal the various conditions.

Maternal health issues in Ethiopia and other developing nations around the world are devastating to women. Help us take steps to provide medical training to local health officials, donations of materials, and medical attention to those countries that need it most.

1859 Magazine: Two Articles

1859 Magazine is now on the shelves, and they ran a 10 page spread of my images from the “Lesser Man Vs Wild” article on survival training in Umpqua forest.

They also ran an image and story from the recent Ethiopia medical trip.

Article Published In Goodness Magazine

Our first collaborative story about the Ethiopia medical trip was published this week in Goodness Magazine. It is wonderful to see the story in print, even though it was difficult to narrow the focus to certain aspects. There were so many intertwined stories, all worth telling.

Return To Ethiopia

It looks like we will be going back to Ethiopia in early 2011 to stay a month. I will travel with a team of doctors and nurses to a very remote area, where we will focus on obstructive childbirth issues. I will also be documenting the lifestyle of a rural Ethiopian woman, in an in-depth manner.

Global Soul International, a 501c3 organization, will help us with fund-raising for this effort. Donations are also accepted online here under the Projects section.

Ethiopia: Everywoman’s Health Sends Two Physicians To Perform Surgeries

One of Portland’s most successful private practices, Everywoman’s Health, sent two surgeons to assist with the surgeries in Ethiopia. Owners Dr. Philippa Ribbink and Dr. Kim Suriano took time from their busy schedules to provide care to the women in Ethiopia. Their partners back home had to fill in during their absence, so appreciation goes to the whole practice for assisting with this incredibly important work.

Read Dr. Philippa Ribbink’s first hand account on her blog.

Ethiopia: A Book Is Created

David Maier’s integrated design class at Mount Hood Community College will be taking on the assignment of creating a book that will depict the state of women’s health in rural Ethiopia.

A copy can be obtained by purchasing is directly from www.lulu.com.
