Of course, I knew it was coming. But when I saw it, a few minutes ago, I just started rewind our story… It all happened so quickly…. A blog, a community growing with such an enthusiastic creativity, our first photo exhibition, the national media coverage, the international one, the projects, the homeless, the refugees, the friends, those we’ve met and those we have not met yet….

I’m extremely proud today.

It is so exciting to see S4C on Lens…. and I confess I’m touched. After all our efforts to make S4C grow…now there it is, on one of the major photography blog in the World.
And with those words and comments!!!
I would like to  dedicate it to ALL S4C volunteers Worlwide… They… You! are amazing persons. And I mean it… I really do.
Each and everyone bring his/her own point of view on social stories;
those stories that are seldom told. And most of our work is not published online, on the website, on  Facebook.
We just do it without shouting it; We back tiny associations that bring relief in social crisis situation; we teach them how to tell their own story…; we teach kids in difficult areas to be the future storytellers….
We keep our eyes open and we keep public awareness high on those social issues that either are forgotten or risk to be…
Shoot4Change started has a blog and it grew in a fantastic way, building on the individual commitment to bring social change around the corner. With a camera, a photo, a twit or whatever creative and optimistic you might think of.
Because we, at Shoot4Change, believe we can change the World. Click by Click…. And starting from our own World.
Everytime we shoot a photo, we take on the responsibility of threating that story with respect and dignity. It’s a small change….
But it’s a start.
Thank You all. GRAZIE
And keep shooting 4 change!
