Love is the solution to everything. Lale Labuko will never know some things about himself—like his birth date. His tribe in Ethiopia’s Omo Valley keeps no written records (his best guess is October, early eighties).

Labuko has rescued 37 children, ages one to eleven; they live in a home he built with the help of California photographer and filmmaker John Rowe, co-founder of Labuko’s Omo Child organization.
