Determined to make it to Haiti to teach street children photojournalism at Jouk Li JOu Kan Foto, a local summer photo camp, this photojournalist would be one of four volunteers working with 12 young boys and girls from the neighboring towns.
‘Zanmi Lakay is a nonprofit organization supporting street children, that were recruiting professional photojournalists to train, and mentor youth ages 10-19 in this unprecedented teaching and exhibit event. After the earthquake, many foreign journalists told Haiti's story from an outsider's point of view, and as educators we believe it is important to pass on the skills needed for Haitians to be their own visual ambassadors.
The Jouk Li Jou Kan Foto will foster the children’s photographic talents, boosting self-esteem and teaching practical technical skills for the future. Many of these kids have never traveled out of their neighborhoods. The meeting up of students from different communities will foster both their art and socialization skills, and give the town of Jacmel a reason to celebrate something special.’
