TB Photovoice (TBPV) and the TB ACTION Group-Kenya are creating a new TB Photovoice site. TB Photovoice works intensively with individuals and communities impacted by Tuberculosis. Using a method called photovoice, persons impacted by TB take photos of important themes of daily life so as to document their life conditions as they see them and then discuss them in small groups.They use their photos and stories to reach policy makers about health and community issues of greatest concern.

5 days and counting!
5 days until I board a flight to Nairobi, Kenya! Ah, to be back on Africa soil! With all of the last minute organizing (collating training materials, communicating with Lucy Chesire the Executive Director of TB ACTION Group-Kenya, childcare for Tessa and Casey, back to school supplies) I have had few moments to take in the fact that I am returning to a place that nurtures my soul and continues to call to me every week through dreams, images, and thoughts. I have a deep sense of gratitude to our TB Photovoice Board of Directors for their support, as well as to the TB ACTION Group-Kenya for their persistence and collaborative spirit. And this trip truly would not be possible without the love and support of the man I met in Africa 19 years ago in Cameroon. Will, thank you for taking care of Tessa and Casey while I am gone. I will dream of you all every night.
