Title: Moms in Waiting
Location: Jos
Hospital, Nigeria
Submitted by Meaghann Weniger
Description:
"When I
hear patients at the suburban clinic complain of wait times, I am reminded
of the days Nigerian women spend camped outside of the prenatal clinic.
The line wraps twice around the hospital complex. During the lunch hour,
the maternity lines were my lessons in Nigerian culture as I munched on
pounded yam, watched women weaving traditional baskets and beadwork, and
learned maternal terminology in Hausa."

through the Wildlife Safari in Ashland, NE and showing my uncle and aunt

unchanged. The picture depicts that wildlife encounters anywhere in the
world have the same awe and charm."

Omaha after six years was probably one of my most depressing events, almost
