Brikama, The GambiaConnecting to Your Roots"This picture was also taken on Tobaski (a Muslim holiday pretty much equivalent to our Christmas). Part of the celebration is a huge feast with lots and lots of food that all the women of the household are expected to prepare. I was no exception, so for much of the morning, I was helping to prepare our meal with all my Gambian sisters and female relatives. Much of their cooking is done seemingly old-fashioned to us, over fires, with mortar and pestle, etc." |
2nd Place Winner  Andrew Johnson, Messiah College
Athens, GreeceBridging CulturesThis picture was taken a top of Mars Hill in Ancient Agora (Greece). It contains myself (Andrew Johnson). This hill was the place where Apostle Paul spoke and preached to the Athenians thousands of years ago. This picture was taken during the first week of arriving in Greece and I was posing as I were preparing myself to be immersed into the Greek culture. |
3rd Place Winner
Megan Hourigan, Juniata College
Quito, Ecuador Connecting: Tus manos pequenas en mis manos grandes Staying with an indigenous family in Tingo Pucará at 3,500 meters altitude. We are playing a game similar to “Ring Around the Rosie,” sung in Quichua, the indigenous language that is spoken more frequently than Spanish in this part of Ecuador. This photo was taken in December 2012 by Cesar Lutuala, the president of the Comunidad Tingo Pucará. Among the children in the photo are Cesar’s children and nieces and nephews, and other sons and daughters of the community. One boy (who was terrified of me) stands in the doorway watching us. His mother told me my size scared him. |
