Through student.go, a ministry of CBF Global Missions which is supported by the Offering for Global Missions, Ashleigh Bugg came to Slovakia this past summer in response to a request we had for a photo journalist. Ashleigh's assignment was pretty vague - take photos of Roma which show a different side to a much-misunderstood minority.

| Ashleigh graduates this month . . . Oh the Places you will Go! |
We arranged many meetings between Ashleigh and our local partners. She did a great job interviewing and writing different stories about her experience. And yes, her photos were great as well. Over the next several months, many of Ashleigh's photos will begin to appear in different Cooperative Baptist Fellowship publications. We are thankful to Ashleigh and to student.go for supplementing the ministry among the Roma of Slovakia in such an incredible way.
If you just can't wait to see Ashleigh's work, you can visit the Presbyterian Student Center at University of Georgia in Athens where a selection of the photographs will be on display for a couple of months. After the showing in Athens, the photo display will be moved to Birmingham, Alabama where they will be utilized by our partner church, Vestavia Hills Baptist Church.
I you just cannot wait, you can see a selection of photos and discover an opportunity to connect with Ashleigh in support of an anti-human trafficking campaign in Slovakia, you can watch this video: Ashleigh’s Slovak Roma Video
or you can work through the Prezi found at this link: Ashleigh’s Slovak Roma Prezi
