The Bigger Picture
We collected 11,500 postcards written by children throughout Africa and the UK answering the question
"What matters to me?"
The results were pretty spectacular.
To collect the postcards we were fortunate enough to work with the following organisations: The British Museum, The British Council, CAMFED, UKOWLA, Link Community Development, Dolen Cymru, Gambia One World Linking Association, Malborough Brandt Group, The World Food Program and the Youth Sport Trust.
Gemin-i.org organised the scanning and meta-tagging of the 23,000 images and the creation of the web-application that displays them. We also helped coordinate the images being turned into giant cloths, which were wrapped around the British Museum for the launch of the BBC's Africa Season.
The 25 separate cloths have now been split up and are being sent to various locations in Africa.
"F***ING COOL."
