Reposted from @photographerswithoutborders - Indonesia is home to a wide variety of species, particularly to the critically endangered yet majestic orangutans, tigers and elephants. In 2018, PWB School travelled to Sumatra in partnership with the Sumatran Wildlife Sanctuary. Our next PWB School Sumatra trip will take place from June 15 - 29. Visit the link in our bio to learn more! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Proceeds from this month's Printshop will help the sanctuary to preserve even more of the pristine rainforest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Visit photographerswithoutborders.org/shop to shop our prints and support wildlife conservation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photographer: @_davecoulson ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ NGO: @swsanctuary⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #PWB #storytelling #sumatrawildlifesanctuary #PWBschool #sumatra #conservation #morethanphotographers #indonesia #endangeredspecies #travelphotography #elephant #seethroughanewlens #education #photography #travelabroad #photojournalism #ethicalstorytelling #ungoals #unitednations #unsustainabledevelopmentgoals #sustainability - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BseIZjHAJdG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=80yfhrd2oo4m

This is the never ending hammock - a hammock created at Tio Antonio's Hammock Shop (see previous posts for more info) by recycled plastic bags, in order to fight for a cleaner and greener Granada, Nicaragua. Anyone can bring plastic bags and help weave the hammock. In exchange for bringing in plastic bags, Tio Antonio provides things like school supplies and food. The Never Ending Hammock will not stop being made until the streets of Granada are clean. #photographerswithoutborders #PWBSchool #pwbnicaragua #nicaragua #cafedelassonrisas #discovernicaragua #travelphotography #seethroughanewlens #photobynila #hammock (at Granada, Granada, Nicaragua)

@cafe.de.las.sonrisas was the very first cafe in Latin America, and fourth in the world, that is staffed entirely by people with hearing disabilities. The entire cafe is sign language friendly - with a pictogram menu, and a wall covered with common words and phrases and the alphabet and how to sign them. They also have the most delicious pancakes and smoothies! #photographerswithoutborders #PWBSchool #pwbnicaragua #nicaragua #cafedelassonrisas #discovernicaragua #travelphotography #seethroughanewlens #photobynila (at Café de las Sonrisas)

Meet Tio Antonio ('Uncle Tony'). After realizing the lack of opportunities in the country for individuals with disabilities, Tio Antonio created Cafe de las Sonrisas, along with a Hammock shop, both which only employ individuals with disabilities. We met him on our second day in Granada, and were immediately inspired by both his vision and words. He said to us, "I want you to enjoy Nicaragua, but also really SEE Nicaragua," meaning get to know the history and culture of the country, and look at it more than from a tourist's point of view. He also said to us, "Your camera is your power." We are able to share these stories from countries that people may not know much about. He wanted us to share his story of Cafe de las Sonrias and the change that he is creating, with the hope that it will inspire others to do the same. Meeting him so early in our trip, and hearing his powerful words, left us all with a lasting impression and the intention to create something worthwhile throughout our trip. @cafe.de.las.sonrisas #photographerswithoutborders #PWBSchool #pwbnicaragua #nicaragua #cafedelassonrisas #discovernicaragua #travelphotography #seethroughanewlens #photobynila (at Café de las Sonrisas)
