THE JOURNEY
From Photography to Greet for Cause
Greet for cause was born out of a short photography trip to Tharparkar
by myself (Fawad Hashmi) in Dec 2014. Here I noticed that Neonatal and
natal causality rate is very high due to lack of high fiber diet, resources and
limited access to transportation.
An idea clicked, to sell greeting cards for the fund raising activity, to feed
10 families for 3 months and so on based on their will along with monthly
performance.
