[Leica] Appeal from FotoKids aka "The Dump Kids"

[gerry.walden at me.com (Gerry Walden)]

Some of you on here will remember the appeal for help from Nancy  
McGirr for help for a group of children learning photography in  
Guatemala to lift them out of the cycle of a desperate life living on  
the rubbish dumps of that city. Times have moved on since then and  
some have gone on to University etc. and are now contributing in their  
own right to the charity that got them started. Now operating in 6  
centres, the charity is holding a week-long workshop in the country,  
and I have received the following appeal to anyone who can give up a  
few days to help:

We are looking for adventurous, open minded people with big hearts,  
and relevant professional skills in the creative industry.

I cannot get there because of various difficulties, not helped by the  
fact that I am in the UK. However, if anyone else feels they can put  
something back in to the world Jeff would be delighted to hear from you.
