By Elizabeth Crow - The Body Shop Highpoint (Vic)Canon is having a photo competition for images related to worthwhile causes – the winning image wins $25,000 for their nominated charity. I would very much like Children on The Edge to win but I need a few hundred votes… in the next 2 days. That's where you come in.
I recently volunteered to help out at the Children on the Edge 'Child Friendly Space' in East Timor. Each afternoon, children were free to come and play with us. We skipped, painted and drew, played soccer, volleyball, frizbee and badminton… the list goes on. The older children had such a thirst to learn English and much time was spent pointing at objects that were being parroted in both English and Tetum. It’s a place where kids are free to be kids. A place where us adults were also free to be kids! I went with no expectations but came back with an appreciation, thirst & passion for the life we live.
I took some portraits of the beautiful East Timorese children while I was over there and have entered them into Canon's Creative for a Cause competition. Please help Children on the Edge and the children of East Timor. All you need to do is get you, your workmates, friends and family to vote for these photos.
HOW?
Simply click on any of my photos in this post. Each photo is linked to their place in the Canon gallery, all you have to do is vote for them to increase their chances to win!
Voting close 10 July 2009.
