About the photographers
Eckerd senior Bradley Ennis 
accompanied Eckerd's Director of Service-Learning Brian MacHarg and a January 2010 Winter Term group to Ethiopia and Rwanda that performed community service and issues of social justice. A main feature of the exhibit will be Bradley's work with the Mekele School for the Blind in Mekele, Ethiopia. During his freshman year, Bradley traveled to Ghana in January 2007 on another Winter Term service-learning course led by Eckerd Professor Olivier Debure. The 15-member student group assisted the village of Tafi Atome in the Volta Region of Ghana with the financing and construction of latrines. Bradley's Ghana images have been used in The Plight and Promise of Africa materials. www.bradleyennisphotography.com

She photographed the doctor's work, including the mobile clinic that he operated out of his Land Rover, and captured thousands of images of Uganda's people and terrain. Currently, Kristin serves as the Strategic Communications Manager at Camfed, an international non-profit dedicated to fighting poverty and HIV/AIDS in Africa by educating girls and empowering young women to become leaders of change in their communities. www.kristinmharrison.com
