During a work meeting yesterday (Tuesday July 12, 2011) , I met Dr. Atef Elshabrawy the CEO of Family Bank, which is established in Bahrain as the first Islamic micro-finance bank in the Middle East. Their main objective, as they state in their website, is to contribute to poverty reduction and socio-economic empowerment of the communities.
Anyway, I think it was an great opportunity for me to meet him, as I spoke to him about my SU-SHI project and he offered to help! He told me about one of the programs they do to follow up with their clients and measure their progress. He offered me to join his team and help them in taking photographs of the clients, their products, workplaces or shops. I will use the photos i will be taking, and include the story and a description of the clients' work and projects. This relates to my main project and concept as it shows the unity not only among the people themselves, but among people, the government and private institutions.
