Perspectives of Poverty
Engineers Without Borders Canada - Non-Profit - www.ewb.ca
In ealy 2010, an EWB volunteer living in Malawi decided to explore perceptions of poverty in western media. He ˜faked" pictures of people in his community as poor/rich, and then showed his perspectives on his blog:

Little did he or anyone else in the organization expect this to go viral:

EWB, along several of our volunteers, would like Free Range to help us spread this unique project with a wider audience. We feel strongly that a new dialogue and relationship with Africa is critical to building enterprises and livelihoods for entrepreneurial Africans.

This project is a great way to bring unspoken stories to world. The world needs to know the facts not myths. Keep up the great work!
