FEATURED PROJECT
NGO: Friendship Bridge
Photographer: Ben Rasmussen
Destination: Guatemala
Date: March 2012
During the week of March 19th, 2012 Project Exposure sent photographer Ben Rasmussen on assignment to Guatemala for Friendship Bridge, a Colorado-based NGO. Ben’s assignment was to chronicle the work of the organization by featuring the women that benefit from the microfinance and education programs Friendship Bridge provides. Over the course of the week, Ben and Julie Malmberg, the Director of Communications and Marketing for Friendship Bridge, traversed the highlands of central Guatemala meeting and photographing women and their businesses that were funded with loans received from Friendship Bridge.

Also, In the GALLERY section you’ll be able to view a selection of Ben’s photographs from the trip as soon as the editing process is complete.
