FOCUS: THE ART OF SERVICE

September 7th will be the opening of a photo exhibition featuring my work with social services in New York City.

The purpose of this show is to help raise awareness of the many good works done by New York City's nonprofit organizations.

I visited soup kitchens and food pantries in the city, and spoke with their clients and volunteers.

After reading a report studying hunger in Canada and the United States, Joel Berg, the Executive Director of NYC Coalition Against Hunger which operates the over 1000 soup kitchens and pantries in the city, said that "It is bad enough that a nation as wealthy overall as Canada allows one in 20 children to lack sufficient food, but it is truly appalling that a nation as rich as America allows on in every 12 children to go without enough food."

I visited Holocaust survivors and the volunteers that visited them and took them to their doctor visits. Thanks to Connect 2 and it's founder, Sheva Tauby for providing this invaluable service.

The exhibit will open with a reception on September 7 @ Chashama at 112 West 44th Street. It will be up until the end of September.
