I had the wonderful opportunity to document a benefit show for the newly launched Portland based non-profit organization by Katelyn Convery called The Lingua Franca Project, in partnership with ABC for Life.
I met founder Katelyn Convery in the summer of 2011 as she was preparing to make the move to Cape Town, South Africa from Portland, Oregon. Katelyn has become deeply involved with a number of non-profit organizations such as ABC for Life utilizing her efforts to promote and support programs in education, literacy, self enrichment and self-development.
As a musician, Katelyn, her brother and close friend performed for the attendees at the Purest Cafe located on SW Ash Street in downtown Portland. All donations are deposited to the Lingua Franca Project and will help provide more space for students and teachers.
Below is a sneak peek photograph from the musical performance. More images to come!
