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.

Background:
Back in 2013 I got to go to a once in a lifetime trip to Peru with a sponsorship from NFFTY (National Film Festival for Talented Youth) and Vitamin Water for the non-profit Vitamin Angels. (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.
