Fiona

Unfortunately, this was a quick hit, buzzing into the life of Fiona Masika, a 12-year-old Ugandan AIDS orphan who's spending one month living with host families and attending classes at St. John's Episcopal school in hopes of increasing cultural understanding and spreading awareness about HIV and AIDS.

Aside from the initial assignment to photograph her at soccer practice, I was able to squeeze one more trip in to visit her in school and at home before the story was published. It's not complete by any means, but I'm posting it simply as a reminder to myself to follow up with her... because this should be her last week here... and it's a story worth doing right.
