Is anyone interested in receiving disposable cameras to distribute to some of your students, allowing them to take pictures, and then sending back the cameras to me(I can pay for postage)???
I have just received $10,000 from the Donald A Strauss Scholarship Foundation, to implement my own public-service project. Basically, I want to distribute cameras around the world to local youth, and have them capture the essence of their experiences through the lens of a camera. Have those cameras sent back to me, and use those images to create an international photo gallery that will travel to local schools around Orange County, California. My project seeks to humanize the vast global experience while empowering American youth to think critically about today�s international issues.
If you are at all interested in playing a crucial role in this project, please e-mail me at [email protected], and I can send you more details about my project! Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Kenny |

Kennyloo I'm living in China at the moment teaching college students (aged 18 - 25) your idea sounds interesting.
Couple of questions?
1. How many cameras are we talking about?
2. How long do we have to take the photos and send the cameras back?
I'm not sure if your cameras will even make it to me without the address written in chinese. Sorry I cannot help you out with that one because I can't read or write chinese either. But I could send you the address of my college.
I will ask some of my students to see if they are interested. Or I could just simply send you some interesting photos with my digital camera and email them to you. I'm not exactly a youth though at 30 yrs old. Maybe I could loan my digital camera to some trustworthy students to help with your idea. |
