A few months ago we were contracted by Relevant magazine to shoot Eugene Cho who started a wonderful non-profit here in Seattle called One Day's Wages. We had a blast photographing him and were excited to see the final tear sheet in last months magazine. The concept behind Eugene's non-profit is dedicated to ended extreme global poverty. This is an organization that believes in collaboration, dreaming big, loving others and forward movement.
The name, One Day's Wages, comes from the concept that one day of your wages, which is equivalent to about .4% of your annual salary can make a life changing impact in the lives of those living in extreme poverty. For instance:
- $20 can provide clean water for one person for 20 years.
- $10 can purchase a bed net to help prevent malaria
- $45 can pay annual school tuition for one child.
It's crazy to me that so little in our eyes can go SOO far in someones life. It was an honor to get to know Eugene and get familiar with his organization while we were working with him on this shoot for Relevant. It's always encouraging to see people who aren't afraid to dream audacious dreams. We forget that those are the dreams that need to be dreamed. Those are the dreams that change the world.
I feel blessed to have met this fellow world changer, Eugene Cho. Check out the organization and if you decide it's something you want to do donate to you can do that here.
Enjoy these tears that made the final cut for the magazine.
