View and bid for some of the world’s most exceptional photographs 2008-
The innovative charity – PhotoVoice is holding a fundraising auction on the 4th November – hosted by Reuters with Guest Auctioneer –
Jeffrey Archer
Mission
PhotoVoice’s mission is to bring about positive social change for marginalised communities through providing them with photographic training with which they can advocate, express themselves and generate income.
PhotoVoice is an award-winning international charity and the only development organisation of its kind in Europe. Its projects empower some of the most disadvantaged groups in the world with photographic skills so that they can transform their lives. Through establishing in-field photo-journalism workshops its projects enable those who are traditionally the subjects of photography to become its creator. Through photography these individuals find confidence in their voices and are enabled to speak out about their challenges, concerns, hopes and fears.
PhotoVoice projects span four continents, assisting refugees, street children, orphans, HIV/ AIDS sufferers and special needs groups. Internationally the organisation provides the platform for PhotoVoice groups to exhibit and market their work and to inspire change. It also provides long-term support for individuals to pursue careers in their local photographic industries.

A little background on the origins of the dance -
AFRO-PERUVIAN DANCES
The slave trade did not only involve the Atlantic and Caribbean coasts; its horrific legacy touched nearly every corner of the Americas , including Perú, where it was practiced until 1845. Descendants of African slaves still live along Perú’s Pacific coast, and their music, rhythms and dances all trace their roots back to West Africa . When the Spanish sailed to the Americas in the early 1500s, the African slaves they brought with them became important contributors to the new music of Perú.
Andean Dances
The Aymara and the Quechua are two indigenous cultures still alive in the Andes . When performing traditional music and dance at ceremonial events it is considered an expression of solidarity, reaffirming common values and identity. Whether religious or secular, Huayno or Wayno is widely recognized as the most representative dance of the Andes . It may have originally been an Inca funeral dance, but today it is purely festive. Perhaps the most inspiring contribution of the Spanish invasion was the incredible music created by the fusion of native Peruvian flutes, African percussion and Spanish guitars.
