In collaboration with the Ottawa Month of Photography, La Petite Mort  
Gallery is proud to host its first fundraiser for Médecins Sans  
Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) Canada, the 1999 Nobel  
Peace Prize Laureate.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is a private international  
association made up of doctors, health sector workers, and other  
professionals. They provide assistance to populations in distress, to  
victims of natural or man-made disasters, and to victims of armed  
conflict, and they do so irrespective of race, religion, creed, or  
political convictions.

The exhibition will include works by local, national, and  
international photographers who have donated one print each to assist  
this wonderful organization in their work. The price for each print  
will be $100 and all the profits will go to MSF Canada.

Julie Hodgson, who is organizing the fundraiser with Guy Bérubé, has  
been supporting MSF for over ten years and offers, “ I admire and  
appreciate the tremendous work being done in over 50 countries by  
MSF. I am also extremely grateful to the artists who have so  
generously donated their work and to Guy Bérubé for his kindness and  
openness in hosting this fundraiser.”
