Meet some of the students in our School Sponsorship Program!
!With the help of individual sponsors, Zanmi Lakay now funds 25
children to goto school who otherwise would not have the
opportunity. These kids live in St.Marc, Cit Soleil,
Port-au-Prince, Jeremie, and Jacmel. Joel Ption, our Director
inHaiti, coordinates with families and orphanages for information
and arrangements,checks in with the kids, and then visits each
school to pay fees directly.
If you would like to sponsor a specific child to go to school
for a year, the cost is$250.00. You can also make a general
donation to our Education Fund to help withkids not yet sponsored,
extra expenses for the families, and assist young adults inour
Teens in Transition Program with trade school and living
expenses.
!Our second annual Jouk Li Jou Kan Foto - Youth Photo Camp, was
a hugesuccess! For this collaborative community project in Jacmel,
48 young Haitianphotojournalists from Kole Zepol in Cit Soleil and
Art Creation Foundation forChildren (ACFFC) in Jacmel worked
together with nine professionals from the U.S.
as well as Haitian staff for nine days to shoot local daily
assignments, learn vitalskills, tell stories from a Haitian point
of view, and promote progress in their owncommunity. The student
photographers shot over 9000 digital images. This year wemade time
for a special day where each student shared their favorite photo
with theentire group, taking questions, and discussing important
issues about Haiti. The finalexhibition at the Fosaj Art Center
included 65 large prints, and an additional 192small prints to
create collages. The show was seen by many during August
andSeptember, and became part of the World Monument Fund
celebration in Jacmel.
Immense thanks to our incredible supporters who contributed
equipment, materialsand funds, and to those that made our Indiegogo
Campaign a success! We are soproud of all of our students! A full
report and gallery of exhibition prints is on ourblog:
