Cultivating humanity- purpose driven UK Female Portrait Photographer on a mission
Magdalena Smolarska
It’s amazing how quickly things are changing!
Just few months ago we were doing charity work for a little girls orphanage house in Goa.
In March I experienced the harshest national lockdown while I stuck in India.
No warning.
No time to buy any essentials before the lockdown.
Immediate police patrols with sticks blocking streets.
Over night, I witnessed millions of Indian families with kids, local migrants left to fend for themselves with no access to food and no income.
I saw a fear of hunger in their eyes.
I faced myself a fear of hunger.
I witnessed the generosity of a poor Indian family next door who shared their limited food resources during first days with me: rice, dhal, potatoes and tomatoes....
I felt touched.
It made me realised how some of us are privileged during the global epidemic time: staying safe in warm house, still being educated, talking to love ones, access to information and news, online delivery and fridge stocked with food...
Where others are not...
After 4 months in India, I came back home to UK thanks to rescue flight organised by UK Government. Back to Brighton where shops are open and you can find food on the shelfs.
I know together we can make a change.
Now is the time to be passionate about making the world better for everyone.
Now is the most crucial time to be the change. Passion for change is all you need…
After 11 years spent working in a big corporation in London, I decided to follow my dream and have my purpose-driven life with a zest of creativity as a International Personal Brand Portrait Photographer, Videographer and visibility coach based in London & Brighton.
The situation in India is changing every day.
I am worried about my little girls from Norma House, El Shaddai Charitable Trust. I am worried about other families with kids. I am worried about local migrants who can't get back to their families in other part of India...
Are they safe? Are they looked after? Do they have food? Are they healthy?
I feel the longing to help them all as much as I can.
“Togetherness” is such a powerful act. I know together we can make loads of small changes leading to something bigger. With everything I do, as a heart-centred UK female personal branding photographer and videographer, there has to be a deeper purpose!
Each donation will contribute to food for 45 little girls from Norma House, age 6-12. Each donation will contribute to food for 6 other Orphanage Houses in Goa region. Each donation will contribute to approx. 600 meals each day to anyone who is on the street in Goa.
All donations will be transferred directly to the El Shaddai Charitable Trust bank account. El Shadda is a registered as non-profit Charity.
El Shaddai Charitable Trust is currently supporting people in need during COVID 19, feeding kids from the orphanage houses and providing around 600 meals daily to people who need it. But they're running low on resources.
Thanks to your support, they will make sure that nobody who comes to their doors is turned away without food for the family.
There is hope – because people like you and me can help.
Where others are not...
Any support will be gladly received: donation, sharing, spreading the word…
PS. By working together, you are not only supporting my business but you also contributing to the bigger VISION!
Did you know?
30% of profit from all Commercial Personal Brand Portrait Photo sessions with Magdalena Smolarska Photography will be “given back” to the community projects?
