Cameroon :: Update
Life Water Development + Thirst Relief
During December I visited Cameroon where I took a week off to document the work of a local grassroots NGO called Life Water Development. LifeWater is headed by a man named Peter Njodzeka who is quite honestly one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met. I won’t attempt to tell his story now- I want to save it for the video- but just believe me when I say that Peter is passionate about helping his own community, starting with providing clean water to schools in some very remote locations. Peter’s work is supported by another great organization named Thirst Relief- you should definitely check them out here. More pictures from Cameroon coming soon….
In other news- I’ve been asked to encourage my visitors to check out a humanitarian photography competition sponsored by Photocrati. It is for Non-professionals and has been described to me as “a rare opportunity to get both funding and a platform for becoming known in the photography world. It provides $5000 grants to non-professional photographers working on important humanitarian and environmental projects. The grant is intended to identify great up-and-coming photography talent and give them a high profile platform for carrying out a worthwhile project”.
Sounds like a great way to get your name and work out there. Go here to learn all about it .
Also, I’m heading to Hatii on Tuesday. I’ll be looking for glimmers of hope. Stay tuned for more on that…
