Sammy Ndwiga

Profile: Sammy Ndwiga’s passion for sharing his photos and stories with the rest of the world has been a great inspiration to Photoshare staff. In 2002, Ndwiga sent more than 200 prints through the mail from his grassroots education activities in Kenya and Tanzania - the largest donation from a local resident in a developing country at the time. We were moved by the effort he put into writing thoughtful captions, knowing how busy he was with Njamburi/Cabak Educational and Library Services, an NGO working to increase public awareness about population-related issues. We were alarmed to learn that his original prints were lost in the mail, eventually reaching him one year later! However, nothing seemed to dampen Ndwiga's enthusiasm for Photoshare. In 2003, he outdid himself, sending more than 600 captioned photos taken with a borrowed digital camera. Ndwiga, a videographer, is currently in Kenya helping his brother organize community screenings for educational videos on HIV/AIDS and family life. He is also writing a script for a short film he intends to make in Tanzania.
