  • PINE APPLE, AL – NOVEMBER 17, 2015: Pam Moton, 30, walks on a trail behind the Pine Apple Health Center. "When you're in the country like this,” Moton said, “people think it's normal to be big and have high blood pressure. I’m just trying to stay healthy. I try to walk everyday. It's something I've always been about." After decades of the relentless spread of diabetes in the United States, federal data now show that the number of new cases has finally started to decline. On December 1, 2015, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published figures showing three consecutive years of decline in new cases, between 2012 and 2014.<br />

  • NUBA MOUNTAINS, SUDAN – JUNE 9, 2018: Nuba women gather water from a shallow well. <br />
<br />
In 2011, the government of Sudan expelled all humanitarian groups from the country’s Nuba Mountains. Since then, the Antonov aircraft has terrorized the Nuba people, dropping more than 4,080 bombs on hospitals, schools, marketplaces and churches. Today, vestiges of the Antonov riddle the landscapes of daily life, where more than 1 million Nuba live in famine conditions – quietly enduring the humanitarian blockade intended to drive them out of the region. The skies are mostly clear. Yet the collective memory of the bombings remains an open wound, and the Antonov itself a persistent threat. So frequent were the attacks that the Nuba nicknamed the high flying aircraft and its dismal hum: "Gafal-nia ja,” they would declare, running to the hillsides. “The loss of appetite has come."

  • BIRMINGHAM, AL – SEPTEMBER 10, 2015: Quintarius Monroe (center) speaks with Cornelius Mosley (right) as they break from football practice at Woodlawn High School. A type 1 diabetic, Monroe requires frequent blood sugar testing and supervision when self-administering insulin. When care from qualified personnel at his school in Center Point became unavailable, Monroe was forced to transfer several miles away from his locally zoned school to attend Woodlawn High School. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires schools to provide "reasonable accommodation" for students with medical conditions, but given that most schools no longer retain school nurses, many schools are failing to provide adequate care for their students.<br />

  • NAIROBI, KENYA - MARCH 22, 2010: Young athletes of the Kibera Olympic Boxing Club train outside the Joseph Kengethe Social Hall on the outskirts of Kibera slum. Each year, Kibera Olympic boxers aspire individually to make the national team, and the opportunity to compete in the annual Kenya Open boxing tournament. In previous years, boxers from Kibera slum have gone on to win tournaments on both the national and international stage.<br />
<br />
Within Kenya's progressive youth culture is the Kibera Olympic Boxing Club, a group of low-income adolescents from the slum whose leader uses boxing as a way to engage with idle youth. The group's ethnic diversity is remarkable given Kenya's 2008 post-election violence in which people from several tribes were forced violently out of slums. Together, these boxers represent a nascent trend of cross-tribe brotherhood in a healing nation.

"I'm young, but with boxing I'm going to succeed in life," Ng'ang'a said. "I need to struggle now when I'm strong so that later on, I'll have time to relax and have a family."<br />

  • NUBA MOUNTAINS, SUDAN – JUNE 9, 2018: Nuba women gather water from a shallow well. <br />
<br />
In 2011, the government of Sudan expelled all humanitarian groups from the country’s Nuba Mountains. Since then, the Antonov aircraft has terrorized the Nuba people, dropping more than 4,080 bombs on hospitals, schools, marketplaces and churches. Today, vestiges of the Antonov riddle the landscapes of daily life, where more than 1 million Nuba live in famine conditions – quietly enduring the humanitarian blockade intended to drive them out of the region. The skies are mostly clear. Yet the collective memory of the bombings remains an open wound, and the Antonov itself a persistent threat. So frequent were the attacks that the Nuba nicknamed the high flying aircraft and its dismal hum: "Gafal-nia ja,” they would declare, running to the hillsides. “The loss of appetite has come."

  • BIRMINGHAM, AL – SEPTEMBER 11, 2015: Sonya Whitaker waits as the Woodlawn High School football team boards the school bus after a game. As a type 1 diabetic, Quintarius Monroe requires frequent blood sugar testing and supervision when self-administering insulin. When care from qualified personnel at his school in Center Point became unavailable, Monroe was forced to transfer several miles away from his locally zoned school to attend Woodlawn High School. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires schools to provide "reasonable accommodation" for students with medical conditions, but given that most schools no longer retain school nurses, many schools are failing to provide adequate care for their students.<br />

Athletes in the Kibera Olympic Boxing Club regularly volunteer their time working odd jobs secured for them by their coach, Hassan Abdulkadir Salim (left). Money raised is then used for transportation, competition entry fees and new equipment.<br />
<br />
Within Kenya's progressive youth culture is the Kibera Olympic Boxing Club, a group of low-income adolescents from the slum whose leader uses boxing as a way to engage with idle youth. The group's ethnic diversity is remarkable given Kenya's 2008 post-election violence in which people from several tribes were forced violently out of slums. Together, these boxers represent a nascent trend of cross-tribe brotherhood in a healing nation.

Various grassroots initiatives led by youth have begun to improve the quality of life for those living in the direst of conditions, and young people of different tribes are using gardening, waste removal, education and athletics to encourage their peers toward a self-respecting and self-sustaining community. Termed “youth groups” on the street, these initiatives could represent the future of long-term socioeconomic development in Kenya while laying the groundwork for a more peaceful election in 2013. During the post-election violence of 2007 and 2008, impoverished youth in Kenya were routinely bribed by the nation's political elite to carry out acts of violence in their communities. Idleness among the youth, combined with the nation's history of tribal rivalries, were cited as a key factors to the violence, culminating in the deaths of over 1,200 Kenyans and the displacement of over 600,000. Since the violence, many youth have begun to seize active roles in the reform of their nation. In 2010 United States Ambassador Michael Ranneberger said he sensed “a sea change of attitude” among youths, “a tidal wave below the surface. The youth have woken up.”
