Hope through a camera lens
As some of you may have read, I’ve connected with program that teaches photography at an AIDS orphanage in Kenya. For a long time, when thinking about AIDS in Africa, I always came up short about how I could make a positive and meaningful contribution…until now.
Once again, if you believe in this initiative and want to help make it a success, you totally can! You can donate at tumainichildrensproject.ca or buy a limited edition print at lechampiondumonde.etsy.com. Seriously, even $5 can go a long way. No contribution is too small. If you’re reading this and you’re in Ottawa, a fundraiser will also be held at the Bytown Tavern this Thursday, June 19 from 10pm-2:30am. Details on Facebook.
Also we’ve set up a Twitter site which will let you all stay on top of what we’re up to in Kisumu. You can even subscribe to receive updates by text message!

Disorganized hits again. I’ll be away next month but there is basically a week of solid shows around Canada Day. Click the banner!!!
How you can help AIDS orphans in Africa
This July, I’ll be in Kenya teaching photography at an AIDS orphanage and if you’re interested, there are a few ways you can help! Read on…
Part AIDS awareness and part arts therapy, the photos are going to be exhibited in Kenya and later at the World Youth Congress in Québec City.
If you’ve thought of doing something about the AIDS crisis in Africa, donating cash or cameras to this project is one very awesome way to do get involved.
FIVE BUCKS GOES A LONG WAY.
The most amazing thing would be if everyone reading this could pony up and give $5. Think about it: giving $5 is like sacrificing one fancy latte for a greater good. You can give as little or as much as you like though.
Donate online at tumainichildrensproject.ca.
Maybe you can’t contribute financially but still want to help… Look around your house for dusty 35mm cameras or old 3-megapixel digital cameras that you can’t seem to give away. We’ll take em!
Obviously AIDS in Africa is bigger than we are but this is a small way you can be part of an important change!
BUY A PHOTO. HELP THIS PROJECT.
As another fundraising initiative, I’ve also listed limited edition photographic prints at lechampiondumonde.etsy.com. All proceeds will go towards the Tumaini Children’s Project. I’ll also be releasing my first-ever photo-zine to support this project. Look out for it.
After you donate, please send an email to these two addresses: paul@lechampiondumonde.com, tumainikids@yahoo.ca explaining that the money is for the PIGA PICHA Project. Don’t forget to mention that I sent you!
Seriously, thanks for all your support. It really means a lot.
