Creative Fundraising
Timothy Holtz, MD, MPH, a DGH Board member and epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control, used his creative talents to raise money for DGH. He held a photography exhibit, Portraits of Tibet: Outside In, at the Java Monkey Coffee House in Decatur, GA, in June of 2001. He was able to capture images of refugee life on film during a year spent in Dharamsala, India (seat of the Tibetan Government-in-exile) working with survivors of torture as a Columbia University Fellow in Human Rights and Health. But Tim may no longer be able to consider himself an amateur photographer. He sold all of the photos and donated the proceeds to DGH.
As Tim explained in the invitation, “Tibet’s recent history is one of an ancient nation hurled from feudalism into modernity in a series of tumultuous events, with the loss of life from a small and unique population of genocidal proportions. It is the story of an invasion and occupation of a peaceful country that resulted in the loss of over one million lives (one-sixth of the population), the destruction of thousands of monasteries and ancient relics, and the decimation of forests and wildlife of a previously protected ecology the size of Western Europe. It is also a history of a non-violent fight waged by the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan people to preserve their culture and identity as a constructive refutation of Chinese claims on their homeland.”
