Help Portrait.

Each year, a small group of volunteers get together and do this – they go to the less privileged people, take their pictures, print them and then return and give the pictures back to them.

To some of these underprivileged people, they’ve never had a photograph of themselves in their lives. To receive a huge photograph of themselves is a life changing moment.

I attended the launch event in South Africa and was deeply inspired by the mission of this project.

It’s great stuff.. what these people have set out to do. I’m so excited to be part of it this year.
