Who are FairMail’s teenage photographers?
All photos on FairMail cards are taken by Peruvian and Indian teenagers. The youth FairMail works with lives in relatively poor circumstances. The Peruvian teenagers either live in a boy’s home for ex-street children (called Mundo de Niños) or they (or their families) earn money by recycling garbage at Trujillo’s garbage dump and participate in the program of the YMCA Peru. The Indian teenagers live in the Nagwa slum near Varanasi where many inhabitants make a living from collecting cow dung for fuel production. At the moment (2010) we work with a total of 27 youngsters from Huanchaco and Trujillo in northern Peru and Varanasi in North eastern India.
