We WELL it! And you?

For some years now I have been a supporting member of a non-profit association called “12 scatti” (12 Shots). The association was founded with the aim of helping children in Burkina Faso (Ivory Coast), who die every day from diseases caused by the lack of clean drinking water, through the construction of wells that make this indispensable resource available to ensure survival.

The funds needed for well construction are raised through the distribution of calendars we produce ourselves, with a minimum contribution of €10. The calendar, long known as Below, is made with beautiful underwater photographs taken by volunteer photographers. Here you can see a preview of the 2011 calendar: http://www.12scatti.org/below/11/defin/elenco-foto.html

I want to make clear that the association directly oversees, with no intermediaries, the production process, the quality of materials used, and the relevant construction costs. As every year, I take part in distributing and “selling” the calendar for fundraising, and this year I decided to do it differently, using a new online service I have been testing for some time and which I find genuinely charming and very useful: Blomming. The calendar can be purchased on Blomming at this address: http://blomming.com/mm/nhaima/items/328 for €10, payable via PayPal, bank transfer, or postal order. Shipping costs this year will be free :)

In the hope of welcoming you among us as supporting members, I leave you with some photos taken last year during a trip to Burkina Faso. The Italian woman you see in the photos is my mother ;)
