Ubuntu Help-Portrait is a volunteer photographer movement that has its foundations in Help-Portrait. It is based in Johannesburg South Africa.

It is the largest Help-Portrait group in South Africa and it has given the greatest number of portraits in the global Help-Portrait community.

In 2012, over 16,500 portraits [up from over 13,000 in 2011] were given to people in needy communities. Over 36,000 free portraits have been given in 4 years.

Volunteers based outside of the Johannesburg hub, are also invited to join the Ubuntu Help-Portrait Chapters that focus on volunteers in other cities and towns in South Africa and Swaziland.

 

Membership of the group and the chapters is open to all photographers and volunteers.

 

The 2013 edition of the flagship Free Portraits programme will be launched on Thursday, 30 May 2013. Click here to view the details.

 

The target of 25,000 free portraits that eluded the group two years in a row, is firmly in its sights again!

@Jonty: Big-up Sir! Awesome work at your end. I'll get the images printed tomorrow and then mount them overnight in time for delivery on Wednesday.

@Glynnis: Great work the kids. You really have gotten into it!

Yes I have the prints for Oliver's House, but they need to be mounted. So don't rush in to collect tomorrow - unless you wish to dive in to mounting too - and if you call by after lunch, they should be ready for you.

Ok?

Please post replies on the comment wall for that shoot here: http://community.help-portrait.com/events/codp-helpportrait-olivers

@Angela: Yes, I have the pics printed but hey need to be mounted. I will be at the college from tomorrow doing just that -mid week mounting - so if you want to swing by and dive in, that would be great!

Do you have a date now for the delivery/presentation of the Hands of Compassion prints so I can load an event for others to RSVP too?

Please post replies here: http://community.help-portrait.com/events/codp-helpportrait-shoot-h... on the shoot's event so that others may be kept informed

Thx

Hi Stanley, completed 42 for Nazareth House and they requested that we include Johannesburg Children's Home next year. Their young children go there at a certain age. Doing my final 28 for Our Kids Creche which is part of MES. Will bring them to th college tomorrow morning. Had great fun photographing beautiful twins together - under 2 so they kept moving and to get them both together was quite challenging! Can I collect Oliver's House tomorrow morning when I drop off? Thanks so much.

Hi Stanley - are the portraits for Hands of Compassion ready for collection, or do you need further assistance with framing? Angie
Comment by Stanley-Carl du-Pont on December 6, 2010 at 2:22am
No problem Wayne. Go ahead and just be sure to have the images in by Wednesday!
