<P>"PhotoVoiceﾒs mission is to bring about positive social change for marginalised communities through providing

them with photographic training with which they can advocate, express themselves and generate income."

Great work & website. You might be interested in getting in touch with a project called "Lahza" based in Beirut, Lebanon, which taught Palestinian refugee children photography skills, and then gave them something like 500 disposable cameras to shoot daily life in those camps. The project culminated in a book which featured some of those phenomenal shots. The organization that spearheaded this project is called "Zakira" - check them out on: http://www.zakira.org/projects.php
