Giving Hearts in the Most Unlikely of Places

By Nour ElSayed On Sep 30, 2013

“What started helping the kids, ended up helping all of us. Because we realized that we are all humans.”

– The words of a man sentenced to 18 years in prison.

Over the last three years, the Peruvian Cancer Foundation hasn’t been raising enough money.

So they came up with an idea: If they could get even the most hardened, cold-blooded people to donate to their cause, then they could get anyone to give.

They paid a visit to the Castro Penitentiary, one of the most dangerous prisons in Peru, filled with murderers, rapists – seemingly heartless individuals. And what they found will truly restore your faith in humanity.

If the lifers can feel sorry for cancer children, I think it’s a shame if we don’t.

Must watch:

Nour El Sayed has always been fascinated by photography and art. She spends most of her time trying to combine both and ending up with a triumph. After receiving her AS in Graphic Design, she decided to integrate all three and hoping that one day her work could be widely exhibited. If there's one thing she learnt in life it's that “In a time of destruction, create something.”

She also finds it amusing to write her bio in the third person and happily indulges herself.
