Yesterday we launched a campaign for The ONE-SHOT Project, to gather cameras for our upcoming workshops in northern Iraq this summer. We'll be running four workshops this summer... three workshops over the same three weeks in June! So we clearly need more cameras to accommodate the extra students.
We need 20 point & shoot cameras and 15 DSLR camera bodies with lenses.
Thanks to our awesome supporters, we've got 8 cameras on the way already! Yeah! In my heart of hearts, I'm hoping that we can have our gear needs totally met by my birthday in a couple weeks. That would be the BEST birthday!!
So, if you've upgraded your own camera, and have one tucked away that you're not using, please send it on an adventure with one of our students. We could fundraise and buy new cameras (and we might do that at some point). But the truth is that there are millions of cameras collecting dust. We'd love to connect your camera with a kid who will have an amazing time learning about photography, about peacemaking, and about themselves.
If you would share this post (or better yet, share the post at the ONE-SHOT blog), tweet about it (@oneshotproject), or tell your friends, you'd be an even bigger rock star than you already are!
I'll keep you posted.
xoxo

Love this, my wife's starting up a photo club with some inner city kids at her school right now... it's amazing what kids can see & capture.
I love hearing that, Lon. Such a fantastic way to build into a kid's life!
