Trainings at Secondary Schools and Community Centers

For two weeks we went to community centers and secondary schools to ask the youth to tell us what they saw as the biggest issues facing themselves and their communities. They were given basic instruction in photography and video. These young people were then invited to take photographs and make videos that depicted the issues they face as seen through their own eyes.
