Working on Remedy Mission – Photographs

It’s my first day of shooting for the Remedy Mission by Preemptive Love in Iraq, and I’m so exhausted! If you haven’t heard about this Remedy, please check my last post here, or better yet, go to Preemptive Love’s website.

My first conclusion is this: You’ve got to be strong to work among these children, especially if you’re a father. They’re so lovely that after only a few minutes, you wish you had the power to give them a new heart. The good news is, it’s possible! It‘s only a matter of having generosity and love to support and make campaigns like Remedy Mission happen with Preemptive Love and other organizations.

I can’t write more today… I’ve got to get some rest, but I will leave these images. Let me know what you think.

    For what it is worth Herber, the images gave me one of those chills that run up your spine when something affects your emotions. Well done in a difficult place emotionally.
