f-eleven volume 1 for “Friends Without a Border” charity

January 7th, 2010

Tiana Piranha by Wolf189 from f-eleven volume 1

We (f-11 members) decided to donate 100% of the profits from our first collaborative book (f-eleven volume 1) to “Friends Without a Border.

Here is some information about “Friends Without a Border” (from their website):

Background

During a series of photography trips to Cambodia’s Angkor monuments Kenro Izu was forever changed by his encounters with ill, malnourished and disfigured children in desperate need of medical care. Izu founded Friends Without A Border (Friends) in 1996 and dedicated himself to building a pediatric hospital in Siem Reap, CambodiaAngkor Hospital for Children (AHC) was completed in 1999 and has since treated over 650,000 children.

Every child has the right to a healthy and loving life. Friends Without A Border is committed to improving the health and well-being of the children of Cambodia through Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) and the Capacity Building and Health Education Program (CBHEP).

By clicking on the above image you can get more information about both f-eleven books and Friends Without A Border.

Perhaps this would be a great opportunity to thank our dear friend and talented photographer, Brooks Ayola (who started the f-eleven books blog and website) for creating these new outlets for f-eleven books. We appreciate all of his technical expertise, time and efforts that he has put into these new venues.

Cheers

Wolf189
