Below are a few snapshots (with captions) of our first few days together. Our activities for these days have been designed to build relationships, teach photography basics, encourage creativity, discuss media distortion, visual literacy, and the role of photography in social change, highlight key community issues, empower youth to advocate and act, and have fun throughout.
