About
Tim lives with his family in northern Mozambique where they are part of a team that is involved in various community development projects, some of a spiritual nature while others strictly educational or health-related.
In 2009 they helped to renovate the old Portuguese well
water system at the district health center in town and worked on mobilizing a book drive via friends in Portugal for a new community library that is being formed in town. The team continues to bike out into surrounding villages to get to know people in the community while they learn about the unique challenges and struggles they face. One day soon, they hope to begin a project in Community Health Education that will help villagers learn some seriously useful things to tackle poor hygiene, education or access to clean water.Originally from the United States–Arizona, the family left for Africa in 2003 after spending a bit over a year in the Philippines before that so that Naomi could be trained in midwifery. By profession, Naomi is a Registered Nurse (R.N.) as well as a midwife while Tim was employed in website design for a Christian organization for eight years.
Tim accepts photography projects from time to time that primarily help out humanitarian aid groups or tourism and travel within Malawi/Mozambique. (It is just a hobby that he enjoys as he still has a day job trekking around in villages and, currently, building a house in the village.)
