One of my volunteer photography "jobs" was as the official photog for a wonderful organisation called, United Way. The Original group was started in the US by Dolly Parton.
The aim of the group was to get parents to read aloud to their young children, they discovered that this encouraged children to go on to higher education.
I spent many very happy times visiting various places with some of Australia's best children's books authors.
I really got to the love the kids and the activities we did.
Here are just a few pics of some of the beautiful children I met over the years.
The little African girl was a particular favourite of mine and she was literally attached to my leg when I was moving around the take photos..in the end I just handed her my camera and let her go...she thought that was great.
A few years after I took the first pic of her with another girl at the blackboard, I met her family at another event at the Adelaide Zoo. She immediately recognised me and ran up to give me a hug.
I was able to get a shot of her with her family.

Great photos of a great organization, not if its the same, but the one here by Dolly Parton is called Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, my Granddaughter Emorie gets a book every month from her, and she loves it, books are one of her favorite things to have. She has been getting books from Dolly now for 2 years.
