There are times when we face “low light” conditions and there are times when we face the challenge of “Err, excuse me, who turned the lights off?”. On this occasion, at the wonderful Fresh and Green Academy in Addis Ababa, these three girls were sitting in a dark corner of a classroom, lit by the [...]
Two things guaranteed to make me happy: 1. The company of friends 2. Great light Yesterday’s visit to the Worldwide Orphans Academy in Addis Ababa yielded both – in spades. I met up again with the spirited kids at the WWO, they make friends faster than you can say “My name is…”. At around 5:30pm [...]
Today has been one of mixed emotions. The exuberance, energy and enthusiasm of the children we have met has left me smiling broadly and it’s humbling to spend time with kids who don’t have much in a material sense yet who’s default state seems to be excited, grinning, cheeky, cheerfulness. We spent time at schools [...]

Firstly, the delightful Bethy, who has captured our hearts and inspired us in ways that I cannot even begin to describe. My friends [...]

Today wasn’t a real work day but even after the long journey to Addis Ababa from Bangkok via Delhi, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to join Aaron and Bill, representatives from “a child’s right” on their visit [...]

Counting birthdays obviously hasn’t been a priority for him. He’s worked all his life in a rural community and has raised a family. In recent [...]
I’ve recently returned from an assignment in Cambodia, working for A Child’s Right. You may remember that I worked for the NGO in Nepal recently and seeing the work that they have done in Siem Reap really reinforced what a wide-spread and worrying problem the availability – or lack – of clean, fresh water is. [...]
How much would someone have to pay you to drink the water on the left? This is the question posed by the NGO “a child’s right” in their Clean Water Challenge. When you consider that the glass on the left is highly likely to contain water bearing some of the contaminants that kill over 3 [...]
Whilst we’re thinking about gifts for the holiday season, I’d like to introduce you to a project that I know will interest you. Tim Bowman is a former student at the Bangkok Photo School. He joined us for a “Creative Photography” class and it was pretty clear that he would prove to be one of [...]
Join me on a two-week photo adventure in Laos with Tim Humble.
