Seattle-based photographer (and Seattle Flickrites member) Amanda Koster is hosting an event to raise awareness about her organization, Salaam Garage www.salaamgarage.com

SalaamGarage is currently organizing trips to India, Guatemala, and Vietnam.

Take this opportunity to learn more about travel writing/video/photographic opportunities with Salaam Garage in other parts of the world

From her Web site:

Our trips around the world connect participants with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Participants (citizen journalists or storytellers = passionate + not necessarily prof. writers, bloggers, twitter fanatics, videographers, photographers, etc.) create and share unique, independent media projects that raise awareness and cause positive change.

The rest of the adventure is spent traveling around the region with an entirely new context.

We are the media now. Join us.
