Faces of Tomorrow, is an ongoing photojournalist project established
by photographer Diana Barnett to document children around the
world in disaster and in need. Faces of Tomorrow gives voice to
the children's struggles and just
as importantly promotes the NGO's (non-governmental organizations)
that are working to improve their lives.
This exhibit is of the work of Barnett's most recent
trip to India, after an earthquake in January 2001, devastated
the lives of its citizens. This show, presented by The Indo-American
Arts Council, is the first public display of Barnett's work. This
gifted photographer and humanitarian has traveled the world to
record the plight of children in order to educate the public,
the media and government agencies. While working with a few NGO's
Barnett's
main focus was with Save the Children - India (STCI) and their
program on Earthquake Relief and Rehabilitation.
The exhibit details Barnett's experiences as she
made her way through different areas with a representative from
Save the Children-India. Visiting schools, care centers and hospitals
they began in Vondh Village, which is located in the city of Bhuj,
the earthquake's epicenter. Barnett's travels continued on to
Adhoi, Gandu, and Kunariya, the village of artisans.
