A few of their stories...
Peace was brought to El Shadai in 2004 when she was found near death, abandoned at the age of 2. Although Peace was very young and the home is already crowded, Stephen tells me there was no other alternative but to bring her into the family. Since then her health has improved drastically. I have yet to see Peace without a smile. When I told her I was taking her picture she ran to her room to put her best dress on. Peace loves to dance to Shakira, and I might add she moves her hips just as well.

Comment on A few of their stories...
I began traveling in my early twenties and found that it offered a mind opening perspective of life in relation to the lives of others around the world. Since then, I have explored close to 30 different countries throughout Europe and Central America, being immersed in their cultures and customs, many of which lack the freedom of artistic creation and expression. The realization to have had so many opportunities in life, like that of an art education, continues to be the driving force behind my motivation.
