FREELAND PHOTOGRAPHY FUNDRAISER!

Journal Entry: Fri Nov 4, 2011, 12:12 AM







About the Fundraiser


Hello Deviants!

Many of you know that I try to be as active as I can in wildlife conservation, particularly helping tigers. I've traveled to Thailand, India and Sumatra in my quest to have an impact, but the time since returning from Asia have been very quiet. I've graduated from university and have been desperately searching for opportunities to start my career and help species in need. The fact that I haven't been successful and have not been able to put full-time effort into conservation has been something that has weighed heavily on my soul...but I hope in the near future things will change.

After years of shopping my resume to those who would take a look, one of my previous colleagues from FREELAND Foundation, a human/wildlife trafficking non-profit in Thailand, became interested in my skills and experience. I was extremely fortunate enough to be offered a full internship with FREELAND Foundation to help them in tiger and elephant conservation, complete with on-the-ground assistance to field teams. It would be completely voluntary, but it would allow FREELAND in executing programs and help communicate its work to a wider audience. There is also the possibility that it could translate into a paid job at some point in the internship.

Over the past months, I've saved very little, focusing on paying off student loans. I would love to take advantage of the opportunity, but the fact remains that I need to raise money to help FREELAND. It is for this reason that I'm starting a fundraiser to raise enough money to donate at least 6-months of my time in Bangkok.

I know that I've done fundraisers and print sales quite a few times, but I hope that you'll consider my work again this time around. You have already been incredibly generous and have made my dreams come true before. For that, I'm incredibly grateful. To have the support I've had from you has been amazing and I never take it for granted. I also believe it to be an honor that people would consider giving my work a home on their wall.

Sincerely,

HeWhoWalksWithTigers

P.S.: Please +fav this journal to help get the word out! =)



About the Fundraiser


FREELAND PHOTOGRAPHY FUNDRAISER

Help FREELAND, help a fellow Deviant, help yourself to some fantastic photos, and help cross a few folks off your holiday shopping list (while getting some free swag for yourself!).

I'm offering all photos in a variety of products to help raise money for an internship with FREELAND foundation, a non-profit in Thailand dedicated to stopping the illegal trade in people and wildlife.

Take a look at some of the products and pricing below. Customize your calendar or get your favourite photos as a print. Plus, 100% of the proceeds will go towards helping FREELAND!

*Larger prints available upon request*

SUPPORTER LEVELS

To thank you for your support, you will be given the opportunity for some free goodies including prints and journal features here on dA based on supporter levels. Every person who places an order will be given an eNewsletter subscription highlighting the internship! It's a great way to get your holiday shopping done early with some freebies for yourself (or the other way around)!

Donations are also encouraged and any donation made above $25 comes with a free 8x10 print!

Ordering is easy! Just send me a note with your choices and I will work with you to find the most accurate shipping and best method of payment.

Are the postcards and prints and things just the pictures in your gallery? And so do we just wander through that and pick them out, or is there a list somewhere?

It depends on the items. Postcards and polaroids are limited in selection (3 types of polaroids, 10 polaroids; the types are featured in the journal image.

Prints and Calendars are completely up to you, for the most part. People can go through my gallery and choose what photos they want either in 4x6s, 6x8s, 8x10s or 11x14s; I can go larger, but that's on a case-by-case basis. For calendars, you can choose 12 (one for each month), ideally in landscape format, but portrait images can be adjusted.

If you have any questions or photos you might be interested in, feel free to send me a note. I really appreciate any support! =)

You're pictures are so beautiful, I'd be happy to hang them on my wall or to give them as a gift to my family :)
I live in Canada, do you think the shipping would cost a lot?
