The Cambodian Children’s Painting Project enrolls children in a program where their local staff and volunteers instruct them daily in painting, arts, and basic learning and help them to sell their artwork in order to…

    Finding yourself in a temple like Ta Prohm with its mysterious stone structures, the large banyan trees that are reclaiming the architecture and devouring it back into the earth is a kind of mystical experience.

    In Cambodia, like in many other developing countries on our planet, children find themselves needing to sell things, beg, wash car windows or do a multiple of other tasks for some extra money that could mean a meal for the day. It is always heartbreaking to see, no matter what country I was in to…

    There is a magical thing about children, which is the ability to use anything around them for creating a unique playground.

    When we grumble about the extra pound we had to lift in our air conditioned gym, the heavy bag of groceries we had to move from the supermarket cart to the trunk of our car, or when we have to work an extra hour in the office, it is good to remember how some other…

    May all the children of the world run with joy and  never from fear… He followed our unicef SUV for more than 15 minutes in Goma’s streets giggling joyfully  and I got to capture his beautiful smile 🙂

    If I were to put one common word when describing children from any country, I would say ‘resilience’… Children are developing beings, changing at a rapid speed, growing, absorbing, evolving and filled with energy that drives them through their process of becoming young adults.

    One of the most precious gifts we humans receive upon our birth is the gift of choice and free will… We have the faculties that allow us to think, evaluate, compare, investigate, evaluate and then based upon our findings make an informed decision.

    A small boy, on the run from Rwanda, pausing in a medical center in Goma, hiding behind the folds of a UNICEF tent, his life will never be the same again… While days before he was just a little boy, living in a village, part of a family, living a somewhat normal life, today he…

    Some images print themselves in our minds and on our hearts because they affect us beyond the surface of visual impression. They go deep, they etch a mark on our soul… If you were to ask me what moment in my journey to Congo was the most haunting, I would say this one when I…
