Support my work

I am a citizen journalist. I am not employed by any media organization. I do this to help those in need of a voice. Being a citizen journalist gives me the freedom to be impartial and independent to report on issues which main medias do not. And I am doing this for free.

As a video journalist, I capture emotions and issues, giving the "people" a platform to express what they really feel. It is about giving people a voice and making a change, a change that matters.

If you like what I am doing, you are most welcome to make small contribution. These contributions help to cover the costs of making the video, research, travel expenses as well as time spent on editing too. Thank you very much.
