With the Option of Snapchat Filters, Polaroid Films, Underwater Cameras and Portable Photo Printers, It’s Impossible to Imagine a Life Without Pictures in This Tech-obsessed World We Live in. Unfortunately, Our Norm Is a Fantasy to Some. Tammy Chan Speaks to Reuben Teo and Fann Saw, the Couple Behind ‘my First Selfie’ Project, to Dig Deeper on Their Charitable Journey and Future Plans.
While Reuben and Fann are both full-time web designers, their passion in photography and dream of helping the community in the village led to a successful Kickstarter campaign that allowed them to donate 600 framed portraits. “Seeing how the kids hugged their framed photos like a teddy bear after taking a deep long look at them is an experience I’ll never forget,” says Reuben. Last year, with an increase in donations, the couple returned to the same village they first visited back in 2014 and provided them with more photographs, 300 sets of soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste, over 200 water filters, two wheelchairs and a bicycle. They’ve also managed to build six wells in areas that were lacking fresh water. What started out as a small project to provide free portrait frames to the people from poverty-stricken villages has since led to something bigger.
