Tina is part of our “Who Are You?” campaign, which began in Cameroon, Africa and has spread around the world. We gave her a disposable camera to give us a glimpse into her life. Tina is another long-standing supporter of the Obakki Foundation. Tina’s faith and family reassure her that she can take on anything life can dish out. Tina is striving to leave her kids with a greater and deeper understanding of the world—how important it is to find their passion in life because this will allow them to also give back to those in need. Tina is inspiring the next generation.

My favourite part of spring! I love the calmness, curiosity and sheer goodness of interacting with animals.
One of my least favourite parts of spring: mud!
My daughter, Grace, reading a magazine.
I rely on my computer for recordkeeping, family pictures…I’d be lost without it!
Feeding a calf by hand is very rewarding but also heartbreaking when you put everything you have into saving one little life and it still doesn’t make it through. It helps to keep moving forward and looking at the next life that can be saved.
Being home when my kids get off the bus is a blessing. I love hearing about the activities of their day. Their energy and enthusiasm is inspiring to me.
I recently learned how to play piano and now I don’t know how I ever living without it!
My faith is an important part of my life. I don’t know how I would have gotten tackled obstacles without the faith that a greater power is helping me out.
I’m so happy that the kids enjoy the farm. Grace adores working with the animals and Grady loves the farming. It’s amazing to see their nurturing tendencies coming out. It makes me feel I’ve done something right somewhere along the way.
Teaching religious education to my kids’ school sets an example of community involvement to my children while spending time with them.
My day seems to go so much better when I can grab a bit of serenity first thing in the morning.
