As a father, I've already had to deal with some scary health scares from my son, and I can't believe to imagine what parents in developing countries have to deal with. Check out my journey to Guatemala. Vitamin Angels is an amazing non-profit that is doing amazing work to support fathers and families all around the world. Last year they reached 52 million kids and they plan to continue growing.

(Which can be viewed at http://www.asupportingrole.com/) Four years after the the Peru doc, my life took a thrilling and surprising plot twist. I became a first-time dad, and suddenly had to learn how to navigate the ups and downs of fatherhood. With a new perspective on what it means to be a parent, I decided to return to the field with Vitamin Angels and gain an understanding of fatherhood on a global scale.
