Thanks to over 70 extremely generous backers, we are ready to embark on our Community/ Cameras project in Wasgamuwa, Sri Lanka. Once our funding goal was met early last week, we immediately began to purchase all the equipment that the kids will need for the photography workshop that we will begin on July 24th. All money pledged goes toward our purchase of 10 Canon Powershot cameras, cases, and mini tripods, an HP laptop and external hard drive, a Canon Selphy Compact Printer as well as plenty of ink cartridges and paper, personal notebooks for the children, and books to accompany our lesson plans.
Equipment for the kids; getting ready to pack it up.
All of the equipment arrived last night, and it was like Christmas around my apartment, boxes and plastic wrapping flying all over and our team excitedly setting up and trying out the laptop and cameras for the kiddos. We are very pleased with all the equipment; it is all simple, sturdy, and user friendly, so the kids should catch on pretty quickly
I cannot thank our backers enough for your contributions toward the project. Because of you we are able to share all of this great equipment and a brand new experience with 30 rural Sri Lankan children. THANK YOU ALL, and I hope you will continue to check in with us via this blog throughout July and August.
