58 imagesFollowing the government-mandated expulsion of all humanitarian groups from Sudan’s Nuba Mountains, the Antonov aircraft began terrorizing 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. As a new government directs national resources and attention toward Khartoum, the skies of the Nuba Mountains 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 people 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." -

284 imagesIn April 1998, a deadly F5 tornado ripped through the suburbs of Birmingham, Alabama, killing 32 people and destroying hundreds of homes. Seventeen years later, Matthew Seals is still learning to cope with the loss of his youngest son, who was killed in the storm. With help from Habitat for Humanity, Seals completed construction on a new home in 2015, where he continues to raise his remaining children and his new life as a paraplegic. Despite his own suffering from the tragedy, Seals volunteers with Habitat to help other families find their own form of stability through home ownership. "Habitat gives you an opportunity to help yourself," Seals said. "Not just for the immediate need, but for the long term to become more self-sufficient, more self-confident, and more self-reliant." -
