Recent News for the Project!!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for following "Through the Eyes of Hope Project". We have some good news! We are finally hoping to open up a Photography Portrait Studio/Business for the kids here in Kigali this coming year. This will endeavor will not only make this project sustainable for years to come but it will also be able to invite many more children to be part of this project. In order to make this amazing opportunity happen for the kids we need your help to do so. We are need of computers, printers, cameras and more. If you would like to make a contribution to make this happen you can do so at https://www.fracturedatlas.org/site/contribute/donate/1979 and to find our more about this upcoming photo studio in Rwanda please email us at teohproject@gmail.com

With love and peace,

Packing & Cleaning

2009-10-10T20:51:00.000-07:00

I am getting excited about going back to Rwanda! I've been packing it up and cleaning it up. I need to write more in these blogs. Oh well, till then this will have to suffice. I just uploaded a photograph of the Muyenzi kids first day receiving their film cameras. After two years they finally got to have their own cameras!! That was a good day!!

Visiting Photographer for the day

2009-05-19T06:18:00.000-07:00

Photographer Bernie Dechant graciously visited the photography students at St. Athanasius School the other week. He showed the kids his beautiful photographs and showed them how to use a medium format camera. I was just so glad that the kids could be able to see such beautiful and strong work taken by Bernie. So I hope some of what he shared with the kids sinks into their minds when they are taking photographs and that they know if they want they can also take amazing photographs to if they like. The photographer who visited is Bernie Dechant and his website is www.berniedechant.com . He is super talented!!

Photography field trip at Pelham Bay Park

2009-05-13T20:54:00.000-07:00

Today, I went with the kids from the photography class at St Athanasius on a field trip to Pelham Bay Park. It was so beautiful and so great to see the kids just get to enjoy the outdoors. Most of the kids live in the Bronx and they so rarely get to enjoy the beach and outdoors. I had a blast with the kids. I felt encouraged today. Also, my friend Andrea, who is helping with the project told me some encouraging news about a cafe in Philly that is helping Andrea and I conduct some more photography workshops in Rwanda this summer. It was a good day, one of the days that I feel inspired to want to continue with the photo project. It was so worth it all just to see the kids enjoy a day out in the park!

Getting started!!

2009-05-09T15:18:00.000-07:00

Okay, I am new at all this tech/twitter/facebook stuff but I have always wanted to create a blog so why not start now. I am envisioning that I will not be writing on this a lot for the next few months but I am planning to do more of it when I return to Rwanda for six months. That's all for now!!
