Mark Howard has over 25 years experience as a photojournalist, travelling extensively around the world exploring many key issues, including:

• agricultural reform in Ghana
• the diamond trade in Sierra Leone
• the role of the Church of South India in local communities
• conflict resolution in Sri Lanka
• political upheaval in Haiti
• following the coca trail in Bolivia
• conducting research for a film in India based around the Beatitudes

His photographic work has been exhibited in a number of London galleries and a book of his photographs, ‘Archive’ was published in 2005.

Summing up his philiosophy on the arena in which he works, he says: " when we lose sight of what charity should be about, it can quickly become the fuel of injustice. A status quo of giver and receiver develops; that is very dangerous, and I want to help people to shake that off. Charity should be about change. It is fundamentally revolutionary.”
