Pete Pin

NPR and EN FOCO Exhibition

Pete Pin, our first Emergency Fund Fellow in 2011,  was featured on the NPR Pictures Show for his project “Cambodian Diaspora.” Read the whole interview here.

“One thing that I learned … is that a lot of people felt really traumatized during their stay in refugee camps,” says Pin. He adds that violence and rape were common.

Pin will also be showing at EN FOCO from April 29-July 19, 2013. The exhibition will take place at Moteflore Family Health Center at 360 E. 193 Street in Bronx NY. For more information visit the EN FOCO site.

Congratulations to Pete for such an exciting month!
