It’s good to see (again)

Lomographical book expedition through Kenya supports LIGHT FOR THE WORLD - projects

In front of us the book. Not just any book. A book full of 1000 Lomographic pictures. At the same time it saves eyesight.
Chris Lohner, Goodwill Ambassador, LIGHT FOR THE WORLD, reads from the book: "Discover, recognise, understand, red, green, blue, purple, focused, blurry, bright, dark, small, big, below, above, crooked, slanted, wide-awake, dead tired, colourful, pitch-black, pink, fascinating, illuminating, embarrassing, exhilarating, incomprehensible, extraordinary, peculiar, inverted, twisted, singular and a whole lot more: Eyes can take in and be all of this, sight can mean all of this."

LIGHT FOR THE WORLD is an Austrian non-governmental development organization committed to helping people who have eye diseases, are blind or otherwise disabled and live in underprivileged regions of our world. 30 Euros save eyesight in LIGHT FOR THE WORLD Aid projects – this is how much a cataract operation costs.

Matthias Fiegl, Managing Director of the Lomographic Society: "An eye-operation. Before, you can’t see. Afterwards you can. It’s as simple as that. The work is absolutely efficient."
The Lomographic Society supports LIGHT FOR THE WORLD with the book, It’s good to see (again) – LOMO KIKUYU, a lomographical picture and reading book about life in the Kikuyu Eye Hospital in Kenya.
A book that can give eye sight back. It tells the story of the Kikuyu Eye Unit in Africa. Numerous people have been treated and healed in Kikuyu and in the course of various outreaches. The way Kikuyu eye unit works has been explored in a lomographical expedition through Kenya.

The book is available via internet: www.lomography.com/kikuyu for a donation of 30 Euros. At the end of April it will also be available at Freytag&Berndt in Vienna (Kohlmarkt), Graz and the Shopping City Süd.
At the same time is starting an international online photo contest, also on www.lomography.com/kikuyu - and the winner will visit Kikuyu!

The first 10.000 Euros donations from LOMO KIKUYU are going directly towards a flight to the North of Kenya where medical equipment is urgently needed. The aim is to carry out 300 eye operations. More projects will follow…
