In 2011 I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Ethiopia with Allie and Tim, and their two small children, to visit Lola Children’s Home in Mekele, in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia. Allie and Tim, who live in Cambridge, serve as directors for the orphanage. I had photographed their wedding years ago at […]
