UNICEF: Rwandan and Liberian youth in Eye See III Workshop

NEW YORK, USA, 24 April 2008 -- Each equipped with a camera and a unique perspective, dozens of children in Rwanda and Liberia recently spent a week with internationally renowned photographer and frequent UNICEF contributor Giacomo Pirozzi for a series of training workshops called 'Eye See III'.

The idea for the UNICEF-supported Eye See workshop series originated in Pakistan after the October 2005 earthquake there, with an initial focus on documenting children's experiences in displacement camps. The goal of the workshops is to teach children photography and provide them with a fun, compelling tool with which to capture the images of their lives.

Interesting video. Could they ever be able to own a camera? or the memory card it uses? or batteries? will they see the pictures they take in a computer? or print them to paper? Maybe it would be better to teach them other skills...
