Three women stand together outdoors, smiling warmly. The woman in the center, Hayto, a student from rural community in SW Ethiopia, wears a patterned sweater and a colorful headscarf. To her left, Maud Mouginot, a postdoctoral associate from Boston University, wears a sleeveless light green top and jeans, holding a notebook. On her right, Valerie Beraud, an OVRP volunteer, wears a bright pink shirt and patterned blue and green pants. The setting features greenery, a wooden fence, and soft natural light out front a home in rural Ethiopia.

A group selfie of six smiling members of the OVRP field team, standing in front of a dusty white Land Cruiser in a rural setting. The photo captures the golden-hour light, highlighting the team's cheerful camaraderie. Traditional houses are visible in the background, along with a tree silhouetted against the setting sun.

Children sitting on the ground in a rural pastoralist community make-shift classroom constructed with sticks and thatched walls. A teacher stands beside a child presenting a brightly colored poster, both engaged in the lesson. Natural light filters through the gaps in the wooden roof structure.
