"Thika" by Jonathan May, isn't your typical run-of-the-mill photography project. It's one that aims to help bring awareness to the daily struggle many blind children endure everyday. Jonathan first discovered his fascination with blind children while awaiting a domestic flight at Mombassa airport. This fascination led him to the Thika Primary School for the blind, a non profit organization run by the Salvation Army.
