– Diary of a Photographer –

In early September I visited the Office of Genetic Counseling and Disabled Children, an NGO, in central Vietnam. I was there to document the work that they do with children with special needs in schools, farms and in their homes.

It was such a rewarding trip and I would like to share some images and stories with you over the next few weeks about the places I visited and the children I met.

None of this would have been possible without the help of Cris Yudi an audiology consultant based here in Melbourne. Cris was on a mission to raise much needed funds to modernise the newborn hearing screening tests in hospitals in central Vietnam.

Without this newborns with hearing impairment go undetected which significantly reduces their early childhood development and learning and in places like Vietnam this results in them getting ‘left behind’ by the system.

This particular photo was taken at an Organic Farm for Youngster with disabilities in the mountainous district of Hue. I will talk more about these locations in upcoming posts.

Take care
