My Project

Our Photography Club will give students hands-on experience using digital cameras to capture the world around them. These cameras are the foundation of our program, allowing students to learn essential skills like composition, lighting, and focus.

A picture may be worth a thousand words—but to our students, it could be worth a lifetime of inspiration.

Many of our students have never had the chance to use a real digital camera beyond a phone or tablet. These cameras will allow them to explore photography in a more meaningful and skill-building way—adjusting settings, experimenting with composition, and capturing images that reflect their unique point of view.

Your donation will directly place cameras in students’ hands, helping them explore their artistic potential, document school events, and maybe even spark a lifelong passion.
