This photo was taken in a rural Maasai village in Tanzania that was situated outside the bounds of available health care. Jeremiah Eisenschenk, M.D., then a University of Minnesota medical student, and a fellow student had just completed a health assessment on the family, who lived in the inkajijik (Maasai for home) when the mother whispered in Maasai, “Wait, there is one more,” and placed her 3-week-old daughter in his arms. Jennifer Poole, M.D., snapped the photo with Eisenschenk’s camera before they proceeded with the examination. Eisenschenk calls the photo “Arms of Hope.”
