Perspectives on Poverty

My friend Erin is doing a placement through Engineers Without Borders at the Ministry of Food and Agriculture in Ghana and writing a great blog about it.

Her most recent post takes aim at the pictures of “starving” African children that many charities use in fundraising campaigns. WorldVision provides a typical example. Erin, with encouragement from another EWB volunteer, decided to take pairs of pictures, one a “poor, starving” child shot and the other showing a clean, “Sunday-best” photo.

Hope you enjoy them!
