Terrific, Onnik In case you’re interested, here’s the website for Kids with Cameras–they have projects around the world but not in Armenia, but maybe someday?

Ani, funny you should say that because World Vision do have photography classes for the kids and yes, they’ve asked me to get involved with the one in Gyumri.

Slightly off-topic, but maybe it’s not. I recently saw a film called “Born Into Brothels: Calcutta’s Red Light Kids”, a deeply moving documentary where these highly disadvantaged children were given cameras and took some astonishingly great photographs. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388789/

Looking at the interest the children in your photographs take in your photography, perhaps some kind of photography project could be put together for them, too?

It’s an old article, but there’s more on inclusive education in Armenia here:

Today, disabled children in Armenia and their families have new hope for their children to grow up like every other child, to receive a good education, make friends, participate in school clubs, attend the prom — in short to make mistakes or succeed just like their non-disabled peers. It is proof that integrating disabled kids into mainstream classrooms does not require millions of dollars — an argument that often keeps people from taking even the first steps. All that is needed is a partnership of committed people and organizations. Thanks to this program and the efforts of all those who have invested time, energy and resources, children with disabilities in Armenia will grow up to be adults with aspirations, and opportunities.
