Clips
I am in the process of preparing images to update my galleries to include some of my magazine clips. This spread just ran in the print version of Le Monde 2 (Le Monde’s weekly magazine). The copyright of the pages is all theirs. I’d link if I could find the link to the magazine piece online. The story was on Biohackers, Do it yourself (DIY) bio-engineers. The story was written by the lovely Yves Eudes.

Some of my work from Africa was displayed in their gallery as part of the show. The tie-in was that a growing number of women in rural Senegal, West Africa who use cell phone texting as a means of communication in their every day lives. This is an amazing use of interactivity in the battle against poverty and illiteracy. The obvious benefit is communication. Cell phones open up lines of communication between villages and extended families located in remote places with no paved roads, traditional phone lines or even electricity. However, the use of cell phones among rural African women has another important and additional positive impact in regards to literacy.
NGOs (Non Governmental Organizations) such as Tostan, www.Tostan.org have provided the education and resources to empower women in rural Africa villages with literacy. The problem had been that although such programs exist, the women who benefited from them would quickly forget their new reading and writing skills because there was no need, nor reason to maintain them in the course of every day village life. Tostan members observed that a possible solution to this could be cell phones. Through the daily use of cell phones, these same women now have a reason and a desire to use their reading and writing skills to communicate with each other and their families.

The following is just a collection of images from my travels over the last 3 weeks. Special thanks to the NGO Tostan, to the Peace Corps volunteers in Senegal (especially you Tenly and Nicole) and to the lovely people who live in the village of Saam Njaay.
