The Story Behind The Photograph: Hadiara’s Goat
The fifth video of this series features a photo of four-year-old Hadiara and one of her family’s goats. Operation Blessing gave her dad 3 goats to provide their with milk and start a small business breeding and selling goats. This extra money along with the money he makes building souvenirs allows him to send his children to school. Hadiara’s older brothers and sister are already in school and she will be starting when she is old enough.

I am a Christian husband, father, son, and humanitarian. As a photographer and video producer for Operation Blessing International, I’ve been able to travel the globe telling stories of hope in adverse circumstances. My goal is to preserve the dignity of the people I meet, while simultaneously documenting their needs. I believe that photographs say much about the person who took them and that they are a glimpse into their world through the photographer’s eye.
