This is from Ross Matteson: I am inspired by the progress represented in this assignment. I wish I had been given a similar assignment in public school. In about 1970 near Seattle, Washington, USA, I ended up in the principal's office for an effort to have the nearly all white school respectfully recognize the life of Martin Luther King Jr! I think that all of our collective community service efforts will bless many.
A couple of travellers who also teach at the University of Southern Mississippi (Betty in photography; Bob in political science). The Sierra Leone blog is from our academic year there where Bob was a Fulbright scholar and Betty photographed (2008-2009).
The Oaxaca blog is from an earlier human rights trip to Mexico when state (mostly) and federal police were attacking demonstrating teachers, farmers and others.
Formerly Bob was a correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor based in Kenya where my wife worked as a photojournalist.

Jim Champaign shared your blog with me, Bob. Good to know what you and Betty are up to. Dave Horn, Carmel, Indiana
Hey Bob, these are some wonderful "on the ground in SL" pictures that really tell a story. The one of the three little school girls is just beautiful!
