Title: "El Mariachi"
Location: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Submitted by Michael Sather
Category: Student/Resident

Description:
"I have a genuine interest in listening to the sounds of other cultures. Walking down the beach, we could hear the sounds of the mariachis from afar. The sounds, from both the instruments and the singers, were uniquely Mexican. They truly enjoyed playing for the groups of people along the beach. It was fun to watch. Despite the fact that my Spanish skills are below understanding the meaning of the songs, much meaning could be gained by listening and watching the actions."

Title: "Family of Origins"
Location: Rural health clinic, Tovar, Haiti 
Submitted by Ellen Loeys
Category: Students/Residents

Description:
“The blind elderly gentleman was escorted to the clinic by his grand daughter. We all posed for a picture after I had given him an injection for his arthritis. Though I was born in the Bahamas of Haitian parents, I had never visited Haiti. Working in the rural Haitian clinic last summer gave me the opportunity to use my newly acquired nursing skills, but I also gained new insights into the land and culture of my family’s origins. Looking at the picture back home in Omaha, I was struck by the similarities between my face and the young girl’s. She could have passed for my younger sister.”

Submitted by Jeremiah Ladd

Description:
“As part of a Christian mission team sent to Eastern Africa, I was privileged to spend several days teaching and interacting with Sudanese refugees. With a stern demeanor and warm heart, each man leads his tribe with pride, for their joy is in their faith and their family—not easily shaken by the war and poverty surrounding them. Sudan means “black” and their skin is as black as the “boona” (coffee) they drink.”
