International Save the Children Alliance This humanitarian organization helps children in need in over 110 countries worldwide Article rating: 10.00

For the past few years, TakeGreatPictures.com has had a special relationship with an incredible humanitarian organization dedicated to “creating real and lasting change for children in need in the United States and around the world.”  The International Save the Children Alliance operates today in over 110 countries to provide emergency relief, food security and health, education and technology, and other services.  In 2007, 90% of all expenditures made by Save the Children go directly to these Program Services.

In particular, we have befriended Gary Shaye, Director of Save the Children’s Field Office in Bolivia.  Recently Gary sent us a number of images taken with a Nikon D2X by professional photographer Michael Bisceglie, who travels around the world for Save the Children.  These images reflect current programs and the challenges that are being faced head on by Save the Children in Bolivia.

“This picture was taken in one of the tented camps in the city of Trinidad in the Department of Beni, in the Bolivian lowlands,” said Shaye.  “Most families were displaced for about four months in the beginning of 2008. Save the Children implemented an emergency response program. The tents in background were provided by OXFAM with whom we worked closely.”

“This is another child from Bolivian lowlands, just outside of Trinidad. We assisted these families in getting back on their feet after the flooding when they returned to their homes.”

“This is a shoeshine boy in our technology program in La Paz.  The computers were provided by a NYC based NGO called Orphaned Starfish with whom Save the Children is working. Save the Children provides the technology classes and training.”
