Changing worlds with photography.

Thank you so much for stopping by to learn about this upcoming photography project. I was recently selected by Photographers Without Borders (PWB) to travel to Kigali, Rwanda in March 2019 to document the work of Talking Through Art. Founded in 2015, Talking Through Art offers vocational training to individuals with disabilities living in Kigali in an effort to help them become independent and active members of their community. Some of their other services also include English classes, health education, and sponsoring education for children of parents with disabilities. Please visit their website to learn more. 

Through photography, I will be documenting their work and the individuals they are helping, with an ultimate goal of expanding the reach of their services to this community.  
 

About Me:

I am a photographer and physiotherapist based in Toronto, Canada. It's been a mix of interests and passions that have led me to this project: my love of photography, my passion for travel and pushing my comfort zone, my interest in health promotion, and my desire to share my talent in order to help others. I am excited to have my photography journey unfold alongside my physiotherapy career, and I can't wait to be able to bring my current skills in both areas to Kigali and Talking Through Art.

Thank you for your support - Donors like you have helped photographers fundraise 100% of project-related costs since 2014!

Please return often for updates on the lead up to my trip. 

About Photographers Without Borders: 

Every year, our photographers and videographers donate hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of their time to document the work of grassroots initiatives that are making a real change in this world - where it is most needed. By capturing, honouring and witnessing humanity at its best, we are not only inspiring many, but we are forging new narratives of what is and what is possible. 

You can help by supporting our photographers and videographers (See the side bar to the right to see fundraisers for our most recent recruits).

Each of our official photographers/videographers is assigned a GroupRev fundraising page by PWB upon acceptance. These pages are a privilege we offer that are intended to make our programs accessible to all and enable our volunteer photographers/videographers to raise their program fees and subsidize or cover these necessary project-related expenses:

• Airfare
• Visas
• Vaccinations
• Health Insurance
• Travel Insurance

The following expenses are the sole responsibility of the photographer/videographer:

• Privately arranged travel / Equipment & Equipment Insurance / Software / Extra Baggage Fees / Donation perks / Clothing / Postage/Postcard / Prints / Etc.

Photographers Without Borders® (PWB) envisions a world where we all put ourselves in each others' shoes and work together. Our mission is to inform and inspire positive change by visually communicating the ways that grassroots initiatives are addressing problems in their communities. PWB is registered as a charity in the United States with 501(c)(3) status and is registered as a not-for-profit organization in Canada. All donations are calculated in US Dollars and are tax-deductible for Americans and Canadians with US income.

PWB is not responsible for any donations made outside of these pages.

Any overage amounts raised on GroupRev will be donated and disbursed 50/50, between the photographer's/videographer's assigned cause and PWB, which is also a volunteer-run organization.
