Why SG Photos and The Sun Bird Trust?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Children\u2019s education is a cause close to my heart. It\u2019s not that education is the ultimate solution for the kids who lack opportunities. Education offers them a better chance at helping create the spark that, hopefully, ultimately enables the kids to achieve their life goals or develop a sense of purpose, self-worth, and confidence. Choose a path they want.<\/p>

I know the people at The Sun Bird Trust. Have donated money in the past and helped raise funds for them. I know the money is put towards the cause that\u2019s committed to.<\/p>

Constantly hammering donors for funds leads to donor fatigue, and there are only so many people you can reach out to. I had a bunch of photos lying on my hard disk for a long time. The few I processed gave some brief joy to me, my family, and friends. They created good memories. But they stayed there, on the disk, seldom viewed after the initial, immediate enthusiasm after a trip.<\/p>

A comment from a respected photographer on one of the rare photos I posted on Instagram sparked a thought. He wrote \u201cFinally some images out of the disk\u00a0\u201d on the photo of a Snow Leopard I had posted a few months after our trip. That led to me posting more regularly, and the photos got some traction. Nothing major. But the thought kept gnawing at me, is this about chasing likes? What if I do get more likes than I did? What value were those likes adding to anyone\u2019s life? Except for that momentary self-satisfaction that someone, apart from a friend or family member, has liked my work.<\/p>

I decided to merge my two passions. Sell the photos to donate to a children\u2019s charity. SG Photos was born.\u00a0<\/p>

If you like these photos enough to buy a print, the children, and I thank you in advance for your patronage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
