I was looking forward to the second edition. Happy with the proposal.

Hi!
I’m Elizabeth Ramos, Brazilian visual artist.

This is my entry:

Photography:

Title: A day for us

The photograph was taken in the countryside of Minas Gerais/Brazil, in the Pau de Óleo neighborhood, a place in transition from rural to urban areas. I am an art educator, and during the pandemic I worked as a tutoring teacher for children and adolescents with learning difficulties, the photo was taken during one of the external classes, where Carlos, the boy in the image performed with fabrics that I took to sit on the floor of clay.

At the moment, I give weekly classes to children, teenagers, adults and elderly people in the city, offering classes with ceramics, theater, painting in peripheral neighborhoods. Unfortunately, the city lacks programs such as NGOs, however the art class program in which I am a part, prepared by the SUPERINTENDENCE OF WOMEN/TIRADENTES/MG, could be a beneficiary for us to continue teaching the classes I mentioned above, with donations of materials and others.

OBS: I joined the telegram group :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

This is ORE
Ore is located in Nigeria (Odigbo, Ondo) and time zone Africa/Lagos. Places nearby are Agbabu, Siluko and Ondo. Ore (Nigeria). This Town is known to be theatre-of-war during the Nigerian Civil War.
Her neighborhood is with low property values and relatively little public or private investment. These areas are characterized by income and economic inequality, and very little development.
I was inspired to take this photograph while on my way to Lagos, due to her peoples’ way of living. It’s so bad to see some many individuals suffer in an unhealthy environment due to underdevelopment as its very harmful .
In situations like this NGOs are to seek the public, to mobilise society, to make proposals and to eradicate poverty. They often work in partnership with persons living in poverty and social exclusion, and with public institutions and local structures to facilitate access by the poor to different social services.
From my research there are only ten registered NGOs in Ondo state
✓ISHIBA DEVELOPMENT AND EMPOWERMENT CENTRE (NGO)
✓Master Oladseg Initiative
✓Christ Foundation NGO
✓Atunse Foundation
✓Hands On Deck Foundation Office
✓INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR HUMAN ✓RIGHT DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT (IOHRDE)
✓IFEDOYIN AND FRIENDS CHARITY ORGANIZATION
✓Helpkids Foundation
✓Bemore Empowered Foundation
✓Overcomers Orphanage Center Ondo

We can select any of these registered NGOs in Ondo state, Nigeria and save a life today!.
Thank you :pray:
