Exhibitions and Projects

Burma in Portrait

Burma in Portrait is a series of sponsored exhibitions that displays the beautiful diversity of Burmese people. This project was made possible with the support of Olympus Imaging who sponsored the events as part of the Olympus Vision Project.

The Project

All proceeds from the exhibition series were used to build a school for impoverished children in the Irrawaddy Delta region of Burma. Whilst Burma is a beautiful, proud country, there exists many old farming areas which provide limited opportunities for the education and health of children. Typically, schools are funded by communities, not the local government. Many primary schools in the Delta region are very basic with (for example) mud floors, bamboo or timber frames, and tarpaulin walls. Such environments are vulnerable to extreme weather conditions in the area and make learning difficult. The schoold construction project will provide a clean, safe place to learn all year round. Once complete, the new facility will also attract both educators and students in the area.

To achieve this goal the Burma in Portrait project has partnered with charities Blue Sky Project (BSP), and Helping the Burmese Delta (HTBD). With the assistance of Olympus Australia, the Blue Sky Project will market, fundraise and monitor the project. The construction of the school will be managed by a partner charity “Helping the Burmese Delta” (HTBD) who specialise in the construction of schools.
