The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts (FMoPA) announces the opening of Howard G. Buffett: Faces of Hunger.
Faces of Hunger is a selection of images from Howard G. Buffett’s book 40 Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World. Faces of Hunger is a documentation of Buffett’s journey into the impoverished nations of the world. The images on display depict the people and places affected by limited farming and agricultural resources. Given a challenge and a $3 billion budget by his father to utilize his seemingly unlimited resources to make the world a better place, Howard G. Buffett, has set out to do his part in easing world hunger by educating and aiding farmers and their communities—he’s given himself 40 years to make it happen.
“Howie’s love of farming makes his work particularly helpful to the millions of abject poor whose only hope is the soil. His fearlessness has meanwhile exposed him to an array of experiences more common to adventurers than philanthropists.” – Warren Buffett
Members receive free admittance while all other guests are asked to make a $10 suggested donation.
