So I don't think I've ever been in the news before and this is so exciting! The two projects that I'm working on have been in the news several times in the last two weeks and I wanted to share the articles in case you guys were interested in seeing what I have been up to. Check it out I hope you enjoy!

This is my new Citizen Philanthropist project through a DC based NGO called 1 Well. They allow regular people to give back to a cause they believe in in a creative way. I'm chosen to auction off my Latin American photographs to raise funds to build a new youth outreach center in Ica, Peru an area that has vastly devastated in the August 2007 earthquake. The website is still being added to and next week will have links to the auction site on eBay through Mission Fish as well as the prints I'll be selling. I'm hugely excited about this project because I've tried for two years now to partner with an existing NGO to do work in education in rural Latin America, well I finally got my chance and I am sooo excited!
I hope you guys will pass the word along and the website will continue to be updated with progress on the fundraising and the site project in Peru.
