Tribal Cultures By Phil Borgses

Women Empowered, Phil’s current project with CARE USA, introduces some of the extraordinary women in the developing world who are breaking through gender barriers and conventions to enhance their well being and the well being of their communities. Phil has hosted three television documentaries for Discovery and National Geographic as a part of a series that investigates indigenous cultures that still maintain a spiritual dialogue with the natural world. In 2000 Phil founded Bridges to Understanding, an on-line classroom program that connects youth worldwide through digital storytelling in order to enhance cross-cultural understanding and help build a sense of global citizenship in youth.
Phil’s photographs are collected and exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide. In 2007 he was named by AmericanPhoto magazine as one of “10 photographers that inspire us.” and in 2003 he was honored with the Lucie Humanitarian Award.
