My Project

Our digital photography class gives students the opportunity to express themselves, build creative skills, and learn technical tools used in visual arts. Right now, we're limited by a shortage of equipment—students often have to share cameras, which limits practice time and creativity.

With your support, we're hoping to purchase 3 Canon Rebel T7 DSLR cameras and 5 extra batteries.

These cameras are beginner-friendly yet powerful enough for students to explore manual settings, composition, and storytelling through photography. Extra batteries will ensure we can keep the cameras running throughout the school day without interruptions.

Your donation will help students take ownership of their work, build confidence, and gain hands-on experience with real-world tools. Thank you for helping our students see the world through a new lens!
