Has anyone on the list had any contact with an organization called "Kids With Cameras?" Their mission statement says: "Kids with Cameras is a non-profit organization that teaches the art of photography to marginalized children in communities around the world. We use photography to capture the imaginations of children, to empower them, building confidence, self-esteem and hope. We share their vision and voices with the world through exhibitions, books, websites and film. We are committed to furthering their general education beyond photography either by linking with local organizations to provide scholarships or by developing our own schools with a focus on leadership and the arts." I have a very talented, adult student that is interested in setting up a similar program in Brazil. If anyone knows about this group, has worked with the group, or is doing anything similar, please drop me a note. My sincere thanks, Hans Klemmer Photography Department, College of DuPage Glen Ellyn, IL U.S.A |
