Our maternal health project in Ethiopia has been listed on the Oregon Health & Science University’s Center For Women’s Health website.
The screening of the movie “A Walk To Beautiful” and our own “Footsteps To Healing” newly released video drew a large crowd at the Hollywood Theater last week. We are humbled by the response many people have to the maternal conditions that occur in Ethiopia and other parts of the world.
The video I shot for our film was the first time I used the Canon 5DM2’s video capability, and I was amazed at the quality results.
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.

Many thanks to David Maier’s Mt. Hood Community College Integrated Media class for taking on the design project, and to student Julia Art for her beautiful design work.
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.
