I am excited about the first photography class! There are 16 students that are all eager to learn. I really enjoy teaching photography and we’ve had a lot of fun so far the two times we’ve met. A huge thank you to all those who donated their used cameras for this class. As you can see above, they’re in good hands!

The class meets once a week, on Wednesdays, which allows me to spend more time working on stories. To be able to spend time just doing stories (not shooting while we’re doing something else like the feeding scheme) is a relief because I’ve been struggling to make time for that since we got here back in August. I am working on a few stories with Zimbabwean refugees living in Mamelodi, and am hoping to also work on a story about youth in the township. So stay tuned for some new stories this month!
