I met Gubalo at home while documenting VSO's work in communities facing drought and conflict along the Kenya–Ethiopia border. Her portrait, featured by VSO, holds a moment of warmth amid the effects of extreme weather, loss, and uncertainty. The encounter reminded me that a story of resilience can begin with a face and a moment of trust.
