Photographer Karen Gordon works with Maryhill Integration Network in Glasgow.  In her blog she shares her experiences with the group through her photos.

I met Rema Sherifi, the development worker at Maryhill Integration Network (MIN), at an Aye Write event about four years ago.  Having read a lot about the war in the former Yugoslavia, I was really interested to meet someone who had lived through it – we quickly struck up a friendship and I started taking pictures for Maryhill Integration Network. 

An organisation doing good work

Over the past four years I have documented most of their activities, making a lot of good friends in the process and enjoying helping an organisation that is doing such great work.
