FairMail’s 2017 Fair Trade Calendar is out now!

The Fair Trade Weekly planner is filled with beautiful pictures of children doing yoga. All pics are taken by our teenage photographers, with the help of their flexible younger brothers and sisters as photo models.

This year the quality of the kids yoga pictures is from a new level, as they made use of the HDR technique taught by a volunteer photography trainer from Hawaii. The light in the photos is just amazing!

Imagine what would happen to the world if all people who benefit from a good deed by others, do a similar fevour to 3 others instead of repaying the original benefactor.

Just like in the “Pay it forward” movie, FairMail Peru photographer and former street child Juan Gabriel (17) decided to make use of the skills he learned at FairMail to support a Peruvian charity supporting children with Down syndrome.

Paying-it-forward

Juan Gabriel submitted this yoga picture of his for the 2016 Devayani Children’s Yoga calendar. With the sale of the calendar Juan Gabriel’s picture earned 192 euro which he decided to donate to Proyecto Yannick. Proyecto Yannick helps children with Down syndrome and their parents in Celendín, Peru by providing information, education and medical assistance.
