CHILDREN OF HOPE

I traveled to Bogota in Colombia to photograph a children’s charity to document underprivileged children who have been affected by poverty, civil war and drugs. These children were given hope when the founder, Mama Esperanza of the charity Fundacion Colombia Chiquita opened her arms to let them in.

The children I met were in high spirits and full of character, you could see this reflected in the care and love they were given. Of course, they are not like this every day and they have to deal with the hardship they are living with, but this is where Mama Esperanza (Mama Hope) along with her volunteers does her very best in helping and nurturing these children.

I was very happy that The Independent published the story of ‘Children of Hope’ and published my photos. You can see the magazine article below and this is the link to the article – http://ind.pn/2aAtQJt
