These photographs are of children living in orphanages and slums
in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The demand for orphanages in this country
is so high that only those children in the worse possible situations
are taken in. The underprivileged children living in neighboring
slums are serviced by a nonprofit organization which provides
classes and monthly stipends to cover the most basic needs for
125 families in the area. All of these establishments depend heavily
on foreign sponsors for funding. Foreign volunteers provide English,
Art, and Music classes in order to develop opportunities for future
advancement.
Prints will be editioned and available for purchase.
A large portion of the proceeds from every print will be sent
to the orphanages and the Shanti nonprofit which works in the
slums. Any one time donations you would like to make, monetary
or otherwise, would also be sincerely appreciated. You may also
wish to become a sponsor for any of the non-profit organizations
serving these children. Alittle bit goes a loooong way.
