The Muskoka Foundation utilizes modern day explorers to do good as they travel around the world visiting developing communities. One of these explorers, Eric V. Ibarra of Las Fotos Project, spent last week with five girls from Buen Pastor teaching them photography basics.
Each day after school, Eric provided a lesson in photography. After the instruction, the girls and Eric explored Guanajuato with a keen eye and a camera lens. Every girl took over 100 photographs each day. After the shoot, the group would meet back at Buen Pastor to evaluate the images and select favorites. It was fantastic seeing their enthusiasm and their talent grow throughout the week.
The following day, friends and family of Buen Pastor's new
photographers were invited for a showing. The girl's images were hung along the main entrance of the internado and received
countless compliments from their families and fellow classmates. It was an emotional show, full of happiness, pride and joy.
these five girls develop their eye to what is beautiful and widen
their horizons in the empowering world of photography.
Thank you Muskoka Foundation for six new gorgeous cameras and a printer. We'll put all of it to good use!
