Somalia's Mother Teresa chose love over fear.

Amid a volatile mix of disease, war, and religious fundamentalism in the Horn of Africa, what difference could one woman make? Annalena Tonelli left behind career, family, and homeland anyway, moving to a remote Muslim village in northern Kenya to live among its outcasts - desert nomads dying of tuberculosis, history's deadliest disease.

"I am nobody," she always insisted. Yet by the time she was killed for her work three decades later she had not only developed an effective cure for tuberculosis among nomadic peoples but also exposed a massacre, established homes and schools for the deaf, advocated against female genital mutilation, and secured treatment for ostracized AIDS patients.

Months after winning the Nansen Refugee Award from the UN in 2003, Annalena Tonelli was assassinated at one of the tuberculosis hospitals she founded. Rachel Pieh Jones, an American writer, was living a few doors down, having moved to Somaliland with her husband and two children just months before. Annalena's death would alter the course of her life.

No one who encounters Annalena in these pages will leave unchanged. Her confounding, larger-than-life example challenges our assumptions about aid and development, Christian-Muslim relations, and what it means to put one's faith into practice. Brought vividly back to life through Jones's meticulous reporting and her own letters, Annalena presents us with a new measure of success and commitment. But she also leaves us a gift: the secret to overcoming the fear that pervades our society and our hearts - fear of disease and death, fear of terrorism and war, fear of others, and fear of failure.

Great for toddlers!
Color: Bees, Color: Bees
Perfect size for a 1 year old - he got the hang of these within seconds. Our small silicone utensils can't stab anything, but the other metal toddler ones were way too big for him. They were definitely smaller than I expected, but they are perfect. Here is a picture for size comparison to our other kid utensils.

Favorite Daily Moisturizing Sunscreen!
I heard about this product on Dr. Dray's You Tube Channel. She is a great dermatologist that gives excellent recommendations on sunscreens and beauty products. She uses science based research & reputable companies. She is also conscious of product costs and offers budget friendly options to protect your skin. Eucerin is one of her favorites and sunscreen is a daily requirement, not a recommendation if you want to keep healthy skin. I have been on the search for years for a favorite. I kept getting greasy results or a white cast. This one offers more of a moisturizing effect as it has hyaluronic acid in it along side sunscreen to protect your skin. I have never had a white cast from this one. It is not waterproof, but a nice one for daily use and under make up. It doesn't smell or clog my pores. I have used about 4 bottles at this point and plan to keep using this one. It is great! I also use the body sunscreen in the tube as well. I like them both.

Absorbs well; no oily feel. Great sun protection!
I got a sample of this from my dermatologist and loved it so I switched to this brand! It has a lightweight feel, absorbs well without leaving a white cast, and has a matte-like finish without feeling dry. It's similar to Laroche-Posay Anthelios Clean Sunscreen, but is more moisturizing and a lot cheaper! I have rosacea - this sunscreen doesn't cause breakouts. I use the 50 SPF facial moisturizer on my face (duh) and the tube of the 30 SPF on my neck and chest. Great products!

Amores y semiodios
Tengo la piel del cuerpo seca y la de la cara es mixta con tendencia al acné. Decidí probar estos protectores solares, ya que uso productos que dejan mi piel fotosensible. Probé el protector solar corporal y me gustó. Tiene una consistencia bastante líquida, pero se esparce muy fácil. Se demora un poco para absorber, no deja una sensación pegajosa ni grasosa, pero se siente un poco pesado por un ratito. Inicialmente deja un olor algo fuerte e incómodo, que en un par de minutos desaparece. No me expongo directamente a la luz del sol casi nunca, pero no he notado ningún tipo de quemadura y oscurecimiento de la piel, por lo que creo que cumple con la protección solar. En general, me gustó el producto. Otra historia es el protector solar facial. Tiene una consistencia tipo crema, se esparce fácil, no deja residuo blanco, no deja sensación grasosa o pesada. Se absorbe rápido. Pero luego de un par de usos, me brotó la piel del rostro. En cambio, a mi esposo que tiene piel seca en su carita, le ha servido mucho. No le ha generado ningún tipo de reacción adversa y su piel lo aceptó desde el primer momento. Luego de una semana de uso, no tiene ninguna queja al respecto. En fin. Los productos son bastante buenos, pero yo, con mi tipo de piel, no usaría el protector solar facial.
