Global Health Discovery Through the Lens

A love for travel inspired author and photographer Phil Borges' striking portraits of indigenous peoples around the world, but his work with various humanitarian organizations, and the creation of the non-profit Bridges to Understanding to bring digital storytelling to teens around the world, is truly moving. Through his photography and stirring personal accounts, Borges details his efforts with organizations that surgically repair cleft palates and severe burns of children and adults living in remote areas around the world. His multimedia pieces tell the powerful stories of a woman in Ethiopia who is changing perceptions within her own culture about female genital mutilation, Peruvian women working to decrease maternal mortality and a Bangladeshi prostitute who is improving conditions within her community.
