Smile, Say Cheese, and Help Us Learn Photography
Funded Jan 8, 2010We are in full swing in our pursuit of photographic excellence!
Wow! What an impact your donation is already making! For the students, there is the natural excitement of being introduced to a shiny, brand new camera (three of them, actually). From my practical and logistical standpoints, there's the ease of mind that comes from knowing I've now got ten cameras to disperse to my eager photographers. More students are engaged simultaneously than ever before, and this keeps motivation and interest high.
Everybody in the room is having a great time with the cameras! Thanks very much.”

Give Us the Power to Take Photos
Funded Dec 28, 2009If only you could have seen the bright smiles that formed on my students' faces when I opened the package of rechargeable batteries to show them, you would have been thrilled. I was, and so were they.
Next week, the cameras will go home for the first time. I now have the option to send extra batteries, totally confident that no student will return to me with excuses about batteries dying. You could have allowed my class to continue along like last year's did - without extra batteries, and having to buy their own - and this would have been unfortunate. The batteries you bought will save families money to spend on other school expenses.
You've done something wonderful for this year's class and classes of the future.
We all thank you so much.”

Finding Family Heritage Through Photography
Funded Jan 7, 2009I am so grateful for your generosity. I see on my students' faces the excitement that comes with a creative project of this magnitude. They know they are about to be part of something very special. Without your help, that could not have happened. Thanks so very much for helping us meet our goal.
Sincerely,
Matthe”
