GF at the gala dinner for the launch of Stefano Guindani’s new book

For us, Christmas has always meant to do something for others. Last week General Filter participated in the charity event organized at Milan Blue Note by the Fondazione Francesca Rava and photographer Stefano Guindani, with whom we had the honor to work for the #illovefilters project.

During the evening, it was also presented to the extraordinary book “Do you know?” by Stefano Guindani, a report made by the photographer in 2 years of traveling in nine Latin American countries to celebrate 60 years of NPH (Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos, “our little brothers and sisters”), an international humanitarian organization founded in 1954 and represented in Italy by the Francesca Rava Foundation to support the world’s children in difficult conditions through sponsorships, projects and volunteer work.

The book, published by Skira, contains the beautiful shots that Guindani has made in nine countries in Latin America – Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Haiti, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Bolivia, Peru – accompanied by many stories, told in first person by some pequeños and former pequeños protagonists.

The book will be in bookstores from the beginning of 2016, but for the friends of the Fondazione Rava is already available upon donation starting from 59 euro. Write to lavinia@thereflectionstudios.it or get in touch with the Francesca Rava Foundation at 02 54122917, www.nph-italia.org.al, to secure a copy. All proceeds from the book’s sales will go to Fondazione Francesca Rava charity projects.
