Keiko Ai
Professional Photographer

Keiko met her soul mate while in Vancouver Canada, they married in Vancouver, immigrated to Canada and have lived here since.

Although her life seemed fulfilled, there was still an inner yearning that she could neither understand or suppress. One day she realized while out enjoying her life long hobby of taking pictures that it was more than a hobby, it was both a deep passion and a true inner calling. She made the decision then to refocus her life goal and follow in her UnclesEfootsteps. Soon after, she entered a full time diploma program at The Focal Point Photo School in Vancouver.

Since graduating Keiko has established her studio focusing on her candid, photojournalistic style of "capturing the fleeting moments of the day" in an unforgettable, distinctive and artistic angle. Whether wedding, portraits or products, still life or fashion, Keiko is driven to reveal the natural, intrinsic beauty of her subject.

Weinc - Women Empowered through International Cooperation

Weinc (Women Empowered through International Cooperation; pronounced as "wink") is a group of volunteer Japanese women who came together to take action to support women living with HIV and advocate for HIV prevention. Weinc provides support to UNDP's regional project on the Women and Wealth Project (WWP) for the socioeconomic empowerment of women living with and affected by HIV.

At the request of the groups participating in WWP and UNDP, Weinc provides a range of support, from test-marketing of products including customer surveys, development of new products and expanding support networks for the groups. More importantly, Weinc generates a strong morale support for the women in the project to help them go through tough times and challenges.

The underlying principle of Weinc is a bi-directional empowerment of women. As the Weinc members from developed countries support women in developing countries, it also provides the former with empowering opportunities to grow as a person. In this context, Weinc is redefining the traditional concept of international cooperation, in which the flow of benefit is often one way.
