Photographs taken on Cumberland Island, a short boat ride from St.
Marys, GA. Ruins of a once rich house of the gilded age, now home
to rattlesnakes, wild horses hanging out in the woods and resting
on the beach. Shells, horseshoe crabs and an amazing view. All
rendered with an old wet plate feel.
"Tumaini. Hope" includes photos from the Tareto Maa Rescue Center
and personal stories which show why the children had to come to
Tareto Maa. Tareto Maa (meaning "Help for the Maasai") is a
grassroots nonprofit in Kenya, East Africa, whose objective is to
empower the local community while eradicating the tradition of
female genital mutilation (FGM) and child marriages within the
Maasai people. Tareto Maa runs a refuge for orphans and for girls
who had to escape from FGM and forced marriage. At the moment, 104
children are living in the Tareto Maa Refuge.
