Guys ,
My office is running a Photography contest. The theme is iCare, which is our CSR wing that supports projects in Education and provides the employees an opportunity to volunteer for socially meaningful activities.
Can you guys suggest some ideas about locations and subjects?

i wasnt exactly talking about this Foundation. iCare is our Company's Corporate Social Responsibility wing. Which donates and volunteers for Social causes like education for the underpriviledges.
So the theme for this times Photography contest is social causes and helping the underpriviledges. Some pics which summerizes the need, effort and the work.

Sorry, I did not see your location. The only worthwhile project I can suggest is a campaign to help feed the many starving, destitute people in your country. Yours is such a wonderful country with so many good and loving (and very devout) people, that such a project could only be a blessing to your nation.

When you find a way to accomplish your goal, please send the answer to us!

I have a friend who travels to India. He visits a family who spends a lot of time volunteering at an orphanage. I would think that an orphanage would welcome some publicity, and the photographic opportunities there would be great.

Since its a "One photograph" contest. I was thinking more on the lines of potraying a subject and his her willingness to pursue education despite poverty or any other form of social subjugation. Eg: Child labour.
All these would require some field work so planning to rearrange some schedules.

what you need is a photograph of a small child girl or boy in their school uniform standing in a backdrop of crap, easy to find in India, caption "Anybody can rise above it, help us to help ourselves "
I know India quite well the last time I was there I rode a Royal Enfield for 2000km in 10 days, half off road to raise money for UNCEF, I was one off 120 bikers all on Royal Enfields.
India has decided that all children, no matter what cast shall receive an education, I have met many children who search for knowledge, they even knew where Obama was born, how many Americans know that?
