ShareTweetPin While traveling with Compassion International, a collection of photographers were each given the opportunity to visit the homes of children living in extreme poverty. Each photographer was drawn to the doors of these homes—finding that these doors each have a way of foretelling a rather striking story. Through their lenses, you will find yourself confronted with the same simple, disruptive thought that inspired each photographer to take these pictures: The people behind these doors are simply extraordinary.

ShareTweetPin I am the mom of 2 healthy, beautiful girls, Rosalia, age 3, and Eliana, who is 2 months old.

ShareTweetPin “No one saw you, at 2 a.m., when the baby wailed for you. No one saw you, when a snoring exhausted man lay next to you, who had to get up for work, so the night shift was yours.
