Kids with Cameras

Kids with Cameras is a non-profit organization that teaches the art of photography to marginalized children in communities around the world. We use photography to capture the imaginations of children, to empower them, building confidence, self-esteem and hope. We share their vision and voices with the world through exhibitions, books, websites and film. We are committed to furthering their general education beyond photography either by linking with local organizations to provide scholarships or by developing our own schools with a focus on leadership and the arts.

In the heat of our local NKF saga, I stand as a disinterest party. I do wonder whether our heartlanders are more concerned about the committee's drawn back pay and bonuses are larger than theirs or rather how we are easily engined by the media to overlook the thinking process all along.

I am not an ardent fan of the console box and its entices. Thru-out recent years, I think the only time i voluntarily switched on the box, was to look at the SARS outbreak, tsunamis killer wave and more recently, the bombing and its aftermath in london. Other than than, i have zero interest in it . I am more a movie and dvd junkie anyway.

Besides, newspaper serves as my revenue of current and global affairs update. I indulge in reading the papers more as i think i am able to read and interpret watever that is wriiten in grammatical form, analysed at my own wavelength.

Its my growing worry and doubt about how local folks have ceased to think how they can contribute back to the society , other than means of monetary donations via 1800-hotlines tagged with lucky draws as gimmicks.

I have a friend , who freelances, that put aside a fixed amount of time to provide his freelance work, what he is best at, to non-profit organisation that he believes in. Its such a mockery when we, ourselves, do not even know the background and cause of the organisation that we are convicted to help.

Folks, perhaps this is a wake up call for all the ignorance that we bore ,are simply are own miserable inability to discern.
