Although they actually do have photocamps in other countries, what I honestly think is that we can't just wait for others to come to our countries and make it happen. Let's stop complaining and do it ourselves, right? Oh, and there actually is a lot of people doing the same everywhere else, including here in Brazil, lots of amazing projects, lots of people involved. They're not National Geographic, but who said we need them?

totaly agree with ya... its the same s*** her in brazil... people just care too much about the first countries (united states, canada, england, germany) but they forget about brazil, argentina, india in your case and others... i think they should make this kinds of photocamps all over the world, cause theres plenty of good and new emergent photography lovers trying to get some space, but they just cant handle with no infrastructure or just the money of a casual work

great but just one question to NGS, why allways America or some developed country coz those kids have the infrastucture. here in a place like India i have seen kids drop photography and move over to a boring carrer because no one was there to give them the direction like what NGS did for these kids. sorry i did not mean to offend anybody, just wanted to speak my mid out.
