Hi all
You probably know Jacek Halicki[1]. And even if you don't - you probably have seen his pictures. Jacek has contributed about 9000 photographs to Wikimedia Commons (many of them are Quality, Featured or Good Images). It was not easy for him - Jacek has a severe mobility impairment and is unable to walk on his own. He moves around on a special tricycle. Imagine how hard it is for a photographer, especially if he specializes in photographing narrow streets of small towns. Jacek has done a lot for Wikimedia projects. And now he needs our help. His computer has been stolen from him, and without it he can't share his works with Wikimedia projects. He has started a campaign[2] to raise funds for a new computer. Please support him in any way you can. By contributing or just sharing the story with your friends or through social media. Thank you!
