Your old cameras...

Photo friends,<br /><br />We are quickly approaching the 2nd Project Luz arts

workshop in Ejido Hermosillo, Mexico.<br /><br />In late August, a team of

talented and award-winning photojournalists from the US and UK have volunteered

their time to teach the children of this rural town photojournalism skills that

focus on and bring attention to the immigration issues that affect their lives,

while working together on a documentary portrait of Ejido Hermosillo's community

members.<br /><br />In turn, the products of this project will raise funds

towards the first ever Ejido Hermosillo community arts and mentorship center.<br

/><br />Thanks to our donors, artists, sponsors and volunteers, the project 2

benefit at the Mexican Consulate was a great success. We are much closer to our

goal.<br /><br />However, we still need your help collecting old - or new -

point and shoot digital cameras.<br /><br />If you feel you can help by donating

a camera or for further project information, please email:<br /><br
