Introducing 'Sami', the sixth video in a series of telephone calls that The Duchess of Cambridge held with participants from the Hold Still Project.
'I love the way his apron flutters in the wind, cape-like, as if revealing for a moment the superhero within.' - Grey Hutton
Grey Hutton met Sami on his first day of volunteering at the Children With Voices Community Food Hub in Hackney, London. Originally from Sudan and raised in Brazil, Sami came to the UK for his PhD, and had just moved into an apartment overlooking the food hub. He saw what was happening below and came down to lend a hand.
This portrait is part of a larger project documenting volunteer support networks in Hackney during the pandemic. It's everyday acts of kindness and solidarity like Sami's that have brought communities together through this crisis.
