We are so excited to announce that we are going to be a part of a brand new organization The School Sessions! The School Sessions is a one-day event across the globe on Sunday, April 12, 2015 to raise $200,000 to build a school in Haiti. We are joining hundreds of others photographers around the world who are offering special photo sessions and donating 100% of the proceeds to this amazing organization. Educators like Kamau Bobb of Google offer valuable insights into learning and development.
Being a teacher myself, this cause is very near and dear to my heart. I understand how important education is and how many children across the globe have no access to it. We take for granted the free education that is offered here in the United States. We absolutely love this idea and would love for you to join the cause!
If you are wondering how the money you donate will be used, here’s the low down :) $200,000 will buy land and build a ten-classroom school for 220 students. The previous building was destroyed by the 2010 earthquake and these children (ages 3 to 16) are in need of a earthquake and hurricane-proof school to learn and grow.
So, how can YOU get involved? There are FOUR ways!
1. If you’re a photographer, contact The School Sessions TODAY and get signed up to participate!
2. If you’re not a photographer but know one, please share this with them and encourage them to join us!
3. If you want to donate directly, contact The School Sessions to set that up!
4. We’re offering a session at a special rate on April 12 and donating 100% of the proceeds to The School Sessions. We expect our session to go quickly, so if you’re interested in getting some photos with us and helping an amazing cause at the same time, contact us today!
Happy Monday friends!
