How did you hear about us and a few words why you want to join EBB:

I run an organization called 'Gettin' Schooled' (gettinschooled.com), which aims to fundraise to promote intellectual development among tribal communities in India, and am in the process of starting an organization called Photographers Without Borders, whose mission is aimed at spreading awareness through pictures in our communities and improving education in areas where we work through exhibits, selling of prints, etc. Gettin' Schooled will become a pet project of PWB once it is registered. I would love see if there are ways to partner with TWB...
