ShahidulNews

Dear Friend,

We would like to invite you to the launch of a new book of photographs by renowned photographer Shahidul Alam.

Shahidul Alam traveled to Pakistan at Concern Worldwide’s request following the earthquake that devastated the country in October 2005. He visited again in August 2006 to see what progress had been made in rebuilding shattered lives. His powerful and moving photographs are testimony to the courage, dignity and resilience of the people affected by this natural disaster.
