Hallmark Institute of Photography Raises Over $13,000 For Doctors Without Borders/Medecins san Frontieres

The exhibit and sale, held June 21 through July 1, 2007, is a result of collaboration between contributing students from Hallmark Institute of Photography's Class of 2007 and the Hallmark Museum of Contemporary Photography.

The exhibit showcased over one hundred fifty professional-level photographs donated by the students from this year's graduating class, with images holding an appeal for a wide range of tastes and preferences in visual art.

Among the photographs purchased were landscape, cityscape and seascape scenes, flowers and wildlife, intimate nature studies, portraits of children, pets and interesting faces, abstracts, still-lifes, architectural detail studies and numerous other everyday subjects as seen through keenly focused artistic eyes.

Doctors Without Borders, serving since 1971, delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural and manmade disasters, or exclusion from healthcare, in more than 70 countries. Volunteer doctors, nurses, water-and-sanitation experts, administrators and other medical and non-medical professionals depart on more than 3,800 aid missions annually.

Providing essential health care, rehabilitating hospitals and clinics, performing surgery, battling epidemics, carrying out vaccination campaigns, operating feeding centers for malnourished children, these volunteers frequently work in the most remote or dangerous parts of the world.

Doctors Without Borders' decision to intervene in any country or crises is based solely on an independent assessment of people's needs - not on political, economic, or religious interests. The organization does not take sides or intervene according to the demands of governments or warring parties. For more information, visit doctorswithoutborders.org
