Photojournalist and National Geographic storyteller Ed Kashi has traveled to rural Peru to document the effects of Chronic Kidney Disease of undetermined causes (CKDu), which risks turning into a global epidemic and may be exacerbated by global warming. With this series of OneShot videos, we give voice for the first time to the subject of the featured photograph. Mary Marixa Pacherres Álvarez was diagnosed with CKDu eight years ago, and has been on dialysis ever since. She is raising four kids in the same house with her parents. Her 13-year-old daughter stopped going to school in order to care for her.

I was one of 30 journalists chosen to attend a four-day reporting fellowship in New York City focused on early childhood and caregivers. We have coordinated with friends and family to be able to take the children along — and we are incredibly lucky to have this network and the flexibility to do it.

But as I start packing — and I think of the weather, and the clothes, and what the kids will do — some tensions are coming up. Will this stroller be OK if it rains? What will the children wear if they want to be outside and temperatures drop?

As I dig around, I realize that this is not the first time there has been tension around a trip. I find some notes from a year ago, when we were taking another long trip, our first intercontinental trip as a family.
