1) how many hours did it take to arrange all this?

3) are you ever able to send a copy of the photos to the people in the street or shops that you photograph?
Thank you,

. Yes, not too many other westerners in this part of the world at the moment.
It took quite a bit of time to organise, both from my side and from Jan my fixer. It all worked out in the end though/
I think there's some ethical concerns when overpaying for meals etc. It can cause inflation for the locals which is not good. They are quite proud people too so charity like that is not too well accepted.
Communication is not too good, i.e. internet or postal so getting a photograph back to them would be difficult.
