Okay, my fellow photographers, how would you like to be a part of a vision to save lives and change the world?  That is exactly the vision of Thirst Relief International, an organization whose mission statement reads, “Our mission is to overcome death and disease resulting from the consumption of contaminated water by providing safe, clean drinking water to those in need around the world.”

1) “If you’re going to talk the talk, you’ve got to walk the walk” 2) “Actions speak louder than words” 3) “Practice what you preach”

The above expressions capture the character of the organization’s founder and president, Jim Davis-Hicks.  When you read about him or listen to him speak, you really get a sense of his heart and passion for helping people in need.

Below is a short video promo of what Thirst Relief is all about.  You can also access the full promotion video here.

So, how can you help as photographer?  Well, here’s a win-win event for you: the annual Thirst Relief Mentor Auction.  You place a bid on a photographer who will mentor you on a facet of your photography and the amount you bid will go directly into the work of Thirst Relief.  Through a mentor, you move your business in a positive direction but more importantly, YOU are helping save lives!

The auction begins on January 10th and ends on January 12th.  For more information and to be updated via email, go to http://thirstrelief.shootq.com/
