NGO's and Me

We are so comfortable. We have so much…

Tired of hearing the heart-wrenching stories from across the globe, one day I finally decided to take action.

During a trip to India ten years ago, I saw the challenges facing local, grassroots non-profits. These non-profits are run by passionate directors who are invested in filling a specific need for their community. They work tirelessly, with little or no compensation.

In the comfort of my home stateside, I heard their pleas for help. At best, I may have written a check or simply said a prayer. That didn’t seem quite enough for me. Why not take my passion, photography, and volunteer my services where needed?

In order to be visible, NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) need a website and promotional material. Unless they have a crackerjack photographer on staff, where do they get their images? From my experience, these organizations have little, if any, budget. That’s where I come in. I supply those critical images.

The following brochure, linked under the photo, highlights a trip to Tanzania where I volunteered my photographic services.

If you know, or are part of, an NGO in need of images, please contact me, and we’ll talk.
