Got some nice news this morning. I had sent various samples to the Asia Photo Review site and got the following reply.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The September 2018 Penticton Art Gallery exhibition and talk for the families was a real high, but after that not much happened. Lately there have been some photographic and some possible helping the families positives. I now have the library display prints-presentation to work on for August 2019 and next week I will be doing up some higher quality files (Color Night Work) for Asia Photo Review, plus an interview with them. This should help with the positive emotions before I return to the garbage of the dump.
Update: Just reread the email, I did not understand it all earlier, these type things make me uncomfortable and squeamish. It seems there will be 2 parts to this. A feature on "Families of the Dump: and an interview and second showcase of the collective work (probably from "Families of the Dump", "Kodoku" the Japanese solitude series and "Thai Sex Worker" photographs).
Got the fundraiser link on facebook set up today. Not sure this will work for the Asia Photo Review but it might.

Hi
Gerry,
Thank
you so much for your submissions! We would like to feature you and have a
photographer interview. Would you be available? We are hoping to feature your
Families of the Dump Night Series to be a feature and showcase your collective
work in another post with the interview.

Here is a link to Asia Photo Review, a wonderful site.

The editor of the site also asked me to forward a donation link to him. Hopefully this will all lead to raised awareness and to more money to help the families. Any money raised will go directly to buying headlamps, boots, foods, medicines as well as other goods for the families.
