Gunnar Merrild

After a long life as a commercial photographer – with an opportunity to fly over the sand, cool down in the waves and feel the breeze from swaying palm trees – I finally have the time to pay back the people I have met through my commercial journeys.

As a single person, I can’t change countries where everyday life is filled with injustice, poverty and corruption. But my long life has given me the opportunity to contribute and give back to the kids whom never had the chance to live in security, but are instead hit by disease, poverty, trafficking and wars.

My biggest hope is being able to sponsor a small MASI orphanage, in cooperation with danish companies, for the kids that are undeservedly hit by injustice, and give them a place with food, security and no dangers.
Starting off, the countries will be those following the Silk Road and it is my biggest wish to personally be present for every orphanage.
