Children in Cape Town

To see the impact that the Sports for Development project is having in the lives of children, we decided to creatively listen to the children themselves… to see the world through.

They are a nimble, family run production company with a trusted network of experienced practioners and storytellers, across the various mediums of photography, film and motion graphics. This collaborative platform allows them to respond quickly and effectively around the country and continent. They continue to use visual media (stills and video) to start dialogue believing that it is this dialogue that triggers action and will ultimately bring change to a crisis or given situation. Karin Schermbrucker spends most of her time traveling the African continent, committed to take photographs that change people’s perspectives and open eyes. Her long unpronounceable surname is frequently seen next to her photos across many publications including Wild Travel Magazine, Getaway, Bicycling, Runner’s World, and Ride. She has put her gear and body on the line as the photographer on the Cape Epic Mountain Bike Race, The PnP Argus Cycle tour, the Two Oceans and many multi stage races. In 2006, Karin published the book Miles Ahead, which was both locally and internationally distributed, and told the photographic journey of Barclays/UNICEF community development projects through Africa and Europe. In 2010 she won a photographic Merit Award in the SAB Environmental Media Awards for a Game Capture story she shot for Wild magazine. Since 2003, he has had the opportunity of traveling to many parts of the world- asking questions, sharing life and learning to respectfully share the stories of those he meets. Privileged to work with many diverse organizations and individuals that are helping to serve and transform communities around the globe, he continues to believe that visual media has the power to start dialogue and potentially change the world. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
