  • The edge of a makeshift refugee camp in Monguno, a part of Northern Nigeria previously held by Boko Haram but recently retaken by the Nigerian army. There aren't enough formal camps or shelters so many people gather thatch and build small huts.
  • TK already has three children. She has a two year old, a one year old, and an eight year old, and couldn't imagine having three under three in diapers on her own. Her husband is in prison, her parents divorced recently and her mom wasn't taking it well. Her dad helped pay for the procedure.
  • Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, it is mandatory for all students to attend {quote}Convocation,{quote} which is a cross between a prayer session, pep rally, and night club.
  • grid_commissions_FloatingGuantanamo
  • A man relaxes on one the upper levels of the Ducor Hotel on May 19, 2016. The hotel was once a four start destination, then a building filled with people displaced by the civil war between 1997-2003, and now, an abandoned former investment of Qaddafi's. It is unclear what will happen to the structure. Photo by @glennagordon for @smithsonianmag#Liberia #Africa #WestAfrica #EverydayAfrica #antebellum #architecture #Monrovia #ducor
