The Photo Archive

Captions from the field, Burundi to Kaliningrad.

From the archive. Around 1998 to 2001 this web address carried the website of a small UK relief charity. This page keeps one of its items as a historical record. Relief Weekly, which publishes the site today, is an independent magazine with no connection to that charity; its name, the names of its staff and supporters, addresses, telephone numbers, registration details and donation forms have been removed, and lost pictures have been replaced with credited photographs of the places concerned. Nothing here is a current appeal.

The old website kept a photo gallery from the charity’s projects: an infant refugee centre in Burundi, camps in Congo, orphanages and a shelter in Kaliningrad, a bakery run by disabled people in Uganda, a volunteer dentist in Zambia and a London Marathon run for the Burundi centre. The photographs themselves were not preserved; each entry keeps its caption, with names removed, and is illustrated with a credited photograph of the place.
