`It is not my intention to upset anyone . . . My aim is simple - to share with you my feelings and experiences as a visitor to distant lands. It is important to remember that each of the people you see in these photographs has names, families, hopes and dreams."
A shopping centre may not seem like the most suitable stage for it, but in fact there may be no more appropriate place.
Worshippers in a temple of Mammon could do worse than have their consciences pricked by the images brought back from Africa and Asia by Liam Burke.
Mr Burke, who runs the Press 22 agency in Limerick city, has his personal reasons for travelling regularly in his own time to the third world. He has undertaken many missions on behalf of the relief agency, Concern Worldwide. Last week, his representation of the agency's humanitarian work was opened in Galway's Eyre Square Shopping Centre by the former Arts minister and Galway West TD, Mr Michael D. Higgins.
The exhibition has been put together, with support from An Post, to mark Concern Worldwide's 30th anniversary. Dating back to the Biafran civil war, when early volunteers helped to organise a massive airlift of food and medicines, the agency has dealt with hundreds of catastrophes, disasters and emergencies since.
The display continues in the centre until Saturday before continuing on a nationwide tour.
