My dad took this picture in the early 60s, with an old Russian camera, probably a Leica of some kind. I've done a little processing, tinting it slightly to look older and adding contrast.
Adventist world church officers help Kwang Soo Park, left, dig for a commemorative planting to mark 20 years of the 1000 Missionary Movement Training Center earlier this month in Silang Cavite, Philippines. Park is the director of the center, which has trained more than 6,000 people for mission service since it opened in 1993.
I really, really wanted a lily, or a lotus plant, but they were all too deep. These were SO enticing, but what you can't tell is that I'm standing on about a 60-degree slope here. One more step and I'd be in up to my hips. That would be okay except that it means I'd have to put my head under to get to the roots, and this water is just a little too stagnant for my liking... so no head-dunking!
I did find some roots (foreground) that had been dug up by the dozer when they did some dam repair a few weeks back, and they had new growth on them, so maybe eventually I'll have my lily. Or lotus. Whatever!

A fresh water well was needed to connect the clinic with a spring system a few feet down. Clean water is hard to come by and the nearby spring was used as a cleaning and bathing area. The rivers are full of trash and debris and often act as a bathroom, laundry area, bathing area, and playing area. The water, when supplied by the local municipality, is plagued by parasites and far from potable. The team from Poland Springs and PID worked hard to build water filtration systems that have significantly improved the overall health of the villagers.
The child here, Mario, is sponsored by one of our team members. Only nine years old, he was very sick growing up and looks much younger than he is. He constantly jumped into holes, grabbed shovels, and insisted on helping us with every task.
Had a thought in my head that I needed to express threw a picture. And this will be expressed threw a series of pictures. I plan on shooting everyday, sort of a 365 project, but I really cant commit myself to something like that. Since it was around 6:00 and I have yet to take a picture, I headed over to my neighbors to see if he would be the lovely model. We went out to a field, to where a dead body could be found. Set-up and took some pictures.

Noëlise Monrose is digging new drains for his banana farm in the Bexon valley in St Lucia. 85 - 90 percent of the banana growers in St Lucia were affected by Hurricane Thomas in October 2010, which caused landslides and flooding throughout the island. As a result waterways were destroyed, fields were silted and yields were lost. Through a FAO intervention, waterways are cleared and windbrakes are planted to protect the fields from hurricanes as the season is approaching.
