Michael Carroll

As I watched the Michael Carroll documentary this week, I realized what a powerful thing photography can be and also how lucky I am to have the things that I possess and have.  Not only was I shocked by the terrible conditions of the Romanian children that Carroll was visiting, but I was also shocked that their leader was allowing them to continue to die from aids and other diseases.  Thankfully however, Michael Carroll's photography was able to shine light on this disaster and generate help for those children.  Through his photos alone people were moved to help, and are still moved today.  His organization website can be found here

Sadly, the help that Carroll gave these children years ago is still not enough to end the problem completely.  There are still thousands of children at risks to get AIDS and many who have it.  But there is still a chance to stop this problem through Michael's organization and bringing attention to this horrific problem.
Hopefully someday thid terrible issue will end.

Thanks to Michael Carroll and the power of photography we are able to shine light on this problem in hopes to fix it.
