This year we will again participate in the annual photo contest organized by GlobalGiving. Of course a possible cash prize of $1000 is attractive, but our main reason for participating is to draw attention to our work.
We submitted our entry before the deadline of 15 July and the submitted photo is now the eye catcher on the Fundacion Ruach page on the GlobalGiving website. The picture was taken on an outing in May. The motto is: ‘See us!’, because it is not so common in Nicaragua to see and appreciate people with disabilities.
A jury will select a limited number of contest entries, and those projects who make this first cut compete against each other to attract the largest number of votes for the favorite photograph. We will let you know if our picture gets through the first selection!
