Dans le cadre de ma formation en Journalisme Visuel et de mon travail comme éditrice-photo au journal étudiant The Concordian , j’ai la chance de rencontrer des gens qui font des choses extraordinaires.

De par leurs gestes, leurs talents ou leur persévérance, toutes ces personnes font en quelque chose, une part pour un monde meilleur.
