THUTO

[THUTO] Its pronounced like the Italian word "TUTTO." And arbitrarily the photo archive's focus: everything, all and anything.

For the humanitarian work's focus - Education - the word was chosen because it means to teach and to learn [Education]; A Setswana word used by a number of Southern African Tribes.

THE CHILDREN OF BOTSWANA

A COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS

For our volunteer photographers this was not only an introductory lesson to photography. Additionally it was about teaching the children that they not only have rights but also responsibilities towards their own communities. Thereby a lesson not only of empowerment but at the same time inculcating in them a sense of responsibility towards other children, as well as their own communities and country as a whole.
