Kiev Diary: TB, AIDS and Junkies
Photos and story by Michael Wang
I have been graced. In my 20-year career as a photographer, the most satisfying work has come now with PATH. I believe in their mission to improve the health of people around the world. And when I document their projects, I am a step toward a solution I could never accomplish alone.
As I travel the world, it is my hope to do justice to the men, women and children I photograph. No matter how far from home I am, even in the harshest conditions in Latin America or Africa, I always feel a bond with the people I photograph – as if they were my own family. I’ve been able to see strangers with the eyes I use for relatives. But that wasn’t the case in Ukraine, at least not at first.
