Sometimes a picture has the power to turn fate around:
In August 2009, I began visiting urban colonies in the city of Bhopal, central India, to document the severe illnesses faced by children as a result of contaminated water. As a consequence to the 1984 tragedy, around 100,000 people are now chronically ill from the effects of the gas leak, while tainted drinking water has affected thousands more.
Toxic waste – buried around the former factory – has penetrated the underground aquifers, harming the health of nearby dwellers. As a grim result, children are increasingly faced by severe disorders. Living with his family in a rundown shack made of bare soil and cow dung, one such victim is Sachin, now 20, and suffering from leg paralysis.
On a fateful day, during one of my regular visits to his home, heavy rain began to fall. His youngest sister, Poonam, then 6, was revelling in the rain to curb the scorching summer heat.
I started taking pictures immediately.
A frame from that propitious moment was later assigned numerous recognitions, including a 5000 USD grant from ‘The Photographers Giving Back Awards’ - in Sweden - to implement a long-term plan for the wellbeing of Poonam, 11 in 2014, and designed to assist her family overcome extreme poverty.
Born ‘unlucky’, with a tiny sixth toe on each foot, her father superstitiously believed she brought misfortune upon their lives.
Today, Poonam dreams of becoming a teacher, like the ones practicing in her small private school, a short walk away from the family’s newly-built home – made of solid bricks. Along with her sister Jyoti, 12, she regularly attends lessons. (Year 5 Elementary in 2014-2015)
I have witnessed the passion that is moving this family along, and how a single possibility for change was able to spark in them such a vibrant enthusiasm for life.
Poonam’s fairytale is far from over: time after time, I intend to witness her blossoming into a teenager, an emancipated woman, and later into a loving wife and mother.

It's the weekend before Christmas and our Gem Stars were at Nottingham's Winter Wonderland taking some snaps of those soaking up the atmosphere! See if they took a photo of you:

ESCP Europe's London Gala Reception took place on 19th March at the beautiful Church House, in the heart of Westminster.
300 students, alumni, staff, professors and guests enjoyed a prosecco reception in the Bishop Partridge Hall, followed by speeches, raffle, music and dancing in the circular Assembly Hall. There were lots of familiar faces among the alumni, as well as some new ones. New Dean Dr Frank Bournois had no shortage of people to engage with at his first London campus gala.
Charity Raffle to Support Social Entrepreneurship
The raffle was dedicated to raising funds for MSc in Marketing and Creativity students to help businesses develop sustainable projects through the Great Generation charity in Uganda, and Gawad Kalinga in the Philippines. Prizes were two pairs of return tickets on Eurostar, thanks to alumnus Nicolas Petrovic; two bottles of Cartier perfume, thanks to Laurent Feniou; a hamper of Italian foods from online delicatessen Vorrei, thanks to the Italian Chamber of Commerce; and ESCP Europe goodies, including a branded pen by Balmain. The prizes were won by people from all parts of the community.
After the raffle there was a dinner service, followed by the DJs Freight Train – gala regulars – who ensured the dance floor was packed for the rest of the evening.

PwC who will visit students at the London campus for the first time
Zaoui&Co, thanks to alumnus Matteo Concas, who secured sponsorship for the second year
Parcelly, a new start-up by alumnus Sebastian Steinhauser, which arranges postal deliveries to local shops when people are not at home
Private donors who wish to remain anonymous
