I am so thankful to Newsweek picture editor Leah Latella (who is also a rockin' folk singer and musician) for publishing my project, La Vida No Vale Nada, on the effects of violence in post-war Guatemala.
"Last year, there were 34.5 murders for every 100,000 people in the country. That’s a decreased rate from previous years, although the first half of 2013 actually showed an increasing number of murders. Violence still touches far too many lives in Guatemala, where nearly 100 people were murdered each week last year."

In October I went to the interior of Bahia state, a region far from the turquoise blue waters near the capital of Salvador. The region is hot, and windy. So windy in fact it has become the perfect setting for wind turbines because of its unique constant flow of wind across this region. Please check out the story: In Brazil, the wind is blowing in a new era of renewable energy.
