Today marks 6 months since the January 12th earthquake struck Haiti and killed more than 200K people. It feels like just yesterday
was jumping on a plane with @safeworldnexus to Port-au-Prince to do relief work. I spent over a month in Haiti during the spring.
I met some of the most amazing people who will always remain close to my heart. I put a few images together today to
remember the beautiful country of Haiti and remind us all, including myself, that we need to stay focused on helping them.

  7. Esther,

    Thanks for the visual message of Haiti. As the media gets bored and moves on to the next thing, we must never forget that the disaster still exists. Thank you for reminding us of that.

  8. Esther, your work and your heart are, as always, truly inspirational and convicting. Thank you, and please keep telling us the story.

  9. You take the most beautiful, heart stopping images I have ever seen. I am in love with your work. I saw the photo of the children in the doorway and I searched for weeks trying to figure out who it was who had taken it because I love it that much. Beautiful beautiful work.
