Scavenger Hunt: Community

This was taken in the Samburu village in Kenya. No matter where you go in the world, babies are adorable, parents love their children, and mothers are delighted when you interact with their babies. The world is made up of an awful lot of small communities, and the differences in housing, dress and customs are fascinating. But I've found that if you travel with an open heart and an open mind, we are all just a part of the community of man.
