Today we started our „Photo Kids project“.
Early afternoon three boys from Galle, about 20 km south of here, with a teacher and seven boys from Tellwatta came to see us. We rent a house where we can meet. There are also other projects going on in that house.
We explained to the kids again what they had to expect and what we expect and then gave them the cameras. I started to show them how to use them but some of them didn’t even wait for that and started to take pictures of their friends, flowers, us, the dog and everything they could find. The older ones took care of the younger ones. That was very nice to watch even though I didn’t have much time to do so because they came back and showed me proudly what they have done. And some of the pictures really impressed me. And they only had the cameras for 15 minutes.
The lemonade and the biscuits we gave them didn’t last long and the kids took off to start their carreers as professional photographers.
Now always two of them share a camera and will take pictures of their parents, their siblings and their friends. Tomorrow they will come back and we will have a look at the first results.
