About the Book
In the fall of 2009, I spent two months on the Congo-Rwanda border. I taught at the Trinity Primary School in Bigogwe, a mountain village severely affected by the 1994 genocide and the devastating 2007 floods.
With the support of Listen to my Pictures, a non-profit organization giving a voice to underrepresented children through photography, I led a project there with eight Primary Six students.
To watch my students' transformations from shy, hesitant children into eager, confident photographers was unbelievable. Their thoughtful captions and stunning photographs, produced after a mere three weeks of instruction, are truly inspiring.
My hope is that this book may allow us break the boundaries of personal experience and step into eight lives that are far different from our own.

About the Creator
Listen to my Pictures
Greenwich, CT
Listen to my Pictures is a non-profit organization dedicated to enabling children to tell the stories of their lives through the photographs they capture. Our mission is to bring a voice to underrepresented children so that they can tell the stories of their own lives through the pictures they capture. By listening to the pictures captured by these children and refusing to impose our story on their lives, we come closer to understanding the millions of young people around the world who live on the fringe of society.
