Bio:
I am a visionary social entrepreneur with experience in setting up and running 7 social enterprises in Peru, India, the Netherlands and preparing one in Morocco.

I want to show the world that deprived but motivated teenagers can break the chain of poverty in a business manner by taking creative pictures of the beauty around them and selling it worldwide.
