Am going to try to sell 5 print box sets of the recently shot "Families of the Dump" colour work. I pan on advertising the prints for sale on eBay for a low price of $500 USD plus shipping. If any of the boxes sell I will move the price up. All money will be given back to the families, via goods. If I could just sell 2 or 3 boxes I would have more than enough money to buy headlamps, rubber boots, medicines, food etc for the people at the dump.
Will see if any of the boxes are sold, if so I might raise box set prices to make more money to help the most needful dump folks.
I have to get me some nice boxes to put the photos in and round everything out as professionally as I can. Maybe a certificate of some, sign-name the prints without damaging them etc.
Here is the blurb I might use on eBay.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This box set of colour photographs is being sold to raise money to help the “Families of the Dump” in Mae Sot Thailand. The dump is inhabited by Burmese refugees who work the garbage to survive. I have been photographing their lives since 2013, these colour images were made in between January and March 2018. All moneys from the sale of the box sets will go towards buying things for the people the children you see in the photographs. Last year we raised $4300 CAD and donated headlamps, rubber boots, medicines, food, clothing, toys and candy(for the children). Please consider purchasing these limited set box prints. Your money will be used to help those in need.
The photographs were made by GERRY YAUM, a intentionally exhibited social documentary photographer. For more details on this work please see the link below. Thank you for considering the photographs and if you buy thank you so much for helping the Families and the children of the dump.

Update: Last night at dinner my friend Larry suggested that I take one of these box sets with me to Penticton as a sample. The idea would be to offer it for sale and to take orders. All moneys of course would go back to the families.
