The video is part of a photo exhibition produced by the Lapland district of the Finnish Red Cross as part of the organisation's Food and Inclusion (Ruokaa ja osallisuutta) project. The photos were taken by Jorma Simonen / Avea Media and the video was created by Jimi Simola / Avea Media.
The photo exhibition lends voice to recipients of food aid. Through it, they describe their own experiences and life. The exhibition strives to increase awareness and discussion about food aid and shed light on the various reasons of needing to take advantage of it.
The aim of the exhibition is to provide hope and highlight the importance of helping others. For many people, food aid has been a path to getting involved in the activities that have been important to them and help others in need.
It is not shameful to accept help.
