Marokko > Humanitäre Aktion

Brillen für die marokkanische Wüstenbevölkerung
Im Auftrag des Brillenglasherstellers Optiswiss begleitete ich ein Team aus Augenoptiker, Optometristen und Augenärzten, welches sich in der marokkanischen Wüste für die lokale Bevölkerung engagierte. In einer humanitären Aktion erstellten sie Brillen und leisteten somit einen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Lebensqualität in der Region.

Meine Aufgabe war, für meinen Arbeitgeber Optiswiss, welcher die humanitäre Aktion initiert und organisiert hatte eine Fotoreportage und einen Pressetext zu erstellen.

Workers in the streets of Managua.

TAKE A SEAT – SIENTE SE
Most of the life of Nicaraguan people happens in the street. Here people meet up to gosip, wait for transportation, guard houses or a properties. All these things aquier sitting posibilities.

The Nicaraguans have a great skill of invent things out of nothing. Old parts of copy mashiens are quickly used to build a sofa, or old banners fabrics, once used to make advertisements is transformed into a hamac.

For me, these things convert to art, wich reflect, without even seen any of the owners, most of the daily life of Nicaragua.

URBAN NICARAGUANS
Managua is a strange and chaotic city. Growing constantly without any structure. Nobody would call it a pretty place. The hidden treasure of the city is its people. They are friendly, unique and full of stories. Here a selection of portraits of special managuan characters.

RURAL NICARAGUANS
The Nicaraguans are very photogenic people who enjoy it when somebody takes a picture of them. Especially in small villages and rural areas the people are still very natural. The following photos document their daily life.

KARINA
A graveyard in Managua. One of the very few calm places in a crazy city. A silent island in a see of noises.

AGUA

In 1972 an earthquake destroyed a great part of the old Managua and has left its witnesses up to now. Ruins of houses tell us of the place of wealth and process which faded away. The loss of glory, which suffered the houses goes hand in hand with the history of Nicaragua.

The destruction of many houses gave place to new and different people. The poorest that don’t have anywhere else to go are the ones who searched for shelter in the ruins. They come from all over Nicaragua. What makes them the same is the desire and the dream of a better place to live.
