Tanzania - Thirst Relief Benefit Shoot



It's been about two or three days since we have had internet and have been able to post anything so I thought I would send something out quickly. This trip truly has been amazing. I have been blessed to travel all around the world and there is no doubt that Tanzania ranks in the top three on my list. The people have here been wonderful to work along-side and the scenery is exotic and breathtaking. It has also been heart wrenching to see some of the conditions in which people live. The images posted here are ones that tell a story but were picked out on the fly, there are hundreds more like them. Without experiencing it first hand, it is hard to understand some of the conditions people are facing and living in. I'm going to wait to until I have a little more time to post before I talk about what we have been doing here and what we hope will continue. But I can honestly say that it has be life changing for me and hopefully to some of the people of Tanzania as well.















Here's a picture Phillip Glickman took of me during a shoot. (Thanks Phillip)

Shane and the team flew out of California Monday evening and arrived in Dubai early Wednesday morning (somewhere around 12:00am from what I understand). After checking into their hotel they all took a midnight tour of Dubai. I'm told it was still around 100 degrees and humid at 3:00am.
