Hey VNHELPers, will you be in Madison, Wisconsin anytime between now and September 30?

If you are, please stop by the Tamarack Studio & Gallery on Washington Avenue to see “Soul of Vietnam,” a photo exhibition by photographer, musician and aviator Lawrence D’Attillio. Lawrence has spent an extensive amount of time capturing Vietnam’s transition from a country recovering from war to a country entering the global economic and cultural landscape. Included in Lawrence’s exhibit will be photos he’s taken of various microfinance projects in Vietnam. Lawrence and the Elmsbrook Rotary Club were instrumental in getting the VNHELP microfinance program on its feet, so we’re thrilled he’ll be able to showcase the positive impact of microfinance on women’s live to a national audience.

Lawrence’s photo exhibition will begin a national museum tour in 2013, but will stay in Madison till the end of September. If you’re unable to make it to Wisconsin this time, cross your fingers and hope the exhibition will make a stop at a museum near you.

Best of luck to you and your photo exhibition Lawrence!
