How photographers help to better this world...

I just read about the non-profit organization called 'Now I lay me down to sleep', founded by Sandy Puc' and Dave Junion, with the mission of creating a lifetime memories for all parents who are experiencing death of a baby. Currently, they have gotten about 700 volunteer photographers from many different countries, who have signed up to volunteer their time to help.

It is just amazing and wonderful to see how, by using photography, people come together, charged with a healing mission and show compassion towards each other in times of unimaginable grief and pain.

If you are a professional photographer and is interested in helping, please visit the NILMDTS website at www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org. They are also looking for photoshop artists who can do images retouching.

Reflection: How can we, in the fast track of technology, synergize our talents and knowledge to help those in need? Instead of delving ourselves in the making of new technologies every day, or racing to catch up in the game, can we divert some of our time and energy to support good courses, perhaps, even remotely-related to what we are doing?
