  • Window portrait in the Telouet Kasbah, Morocco.
  • Solomon using a graphics program to teach children how to use a computer mouse. Computer skills are becoming very important in Uganda, and even children whose parents can't afford school are able to learn these skills at X-SUBA's new ICT center.

  • Simon, a volunteer, teaching the alphabet to children at the X-SUBA Learning Center. They hold classes three days a week (English, Math, and Critical Thinking) during the morning hours. These classes are designed to keep the children in an educational environment until they can find tuition to attend primary school.
  • Children taking a break from photography lessons to play foosball before lunch.
  • Historic Dades Gorge Road, Morocco. The 100-mile road winds through the Atlas Mountains and passes countless old kasbahs along the way.
  • Turtles are released after capture, measurement, and flagging with biodegradable ribbon (so they're not caught immediately again)

  • Amina spins the wool by hand, dyes it with natural colors including saffron, henna, and indigo, and then weaves it on this loom. One rug can take six months to complete.
  • Campfire at Cooskie Creek during the first night out on the Lost Coast Trail
  • Children at X-SUBA's Learning Center work on their alphabet during English class. English is taught once a week to students whose parents can't afford to send them to school. Math and Critical Thinking are taught on two other days of the week. The children are only allowed to stay at the Learning Center for one year so as to not overwhelm the volunteers. They use this time to teach the parents about budgeting and look for sponsors to send the kids to primary school.
  • One of X-SUBA's Learning Center students getting a pair of new shoes. Coach Kenneth brought a few pairs of donated children's shoes from a recent trip to London.
  • Coach Kenneth instructs students on the proper stance to catch a ball in preparation for a netball game. Their time with students at local schools starts with a discussion of some sorts, some drills, and then a friendly scrimmage.
  • Walukuba does have one garbage collection center where plastic bottles are separated for recycling. The job doesn't pay enough for the workers to send their children to school, so the children often fall into the same work and at very young ages.
  • Garbage collection and burning in the outskirts of Jinja. Most of the trash produced will never end up in a collection spot like this - it will just stay wherever its tossed. Garbage that is collected is usually burned because there aren't any better ways to dispose of it. There is a recycling program, but it's in its youth and isn't practiced.
  • A student preparing to dispose of a bag of garbage collected from the playing field before a netball game. Garbage is usually tossed on the ground as soon as it's no longer needed. X-SUBA is trying to change this attitude starting with the youth, hoping it spreads to the adults.
  • Mamma Emma was relocated to this small one-room home with her five kids, a step up from her prior living situation. She used to sell vegetables from her small garden until a factory went up across the street, and now her farm doesn't produce. She now breaks rocks at a nearby quarry and wants nothing more than to be able to send her kids to school. Two of them are in X-SUBA's Learning Center hoping to get a sponsorship, one of them is currently sponsored, and she's struggling to pay tuition for the fourth. She loves it when her kids come home and share what they learned, and is grateful for the opportunity X-SUBA can provide in the interim.
