In December 2007 Camilla Johnson-Hill from London contacted the orphanage and came up with a great creative project for the children. She sent 50 disposable cameras to Dickey’s, each personalised with a name tag. Each child that was old enough to handle a camera received one and also a leaflet with instructions. The children were asked to take photographs of their friends, their food, their toys, their home, themselves, animals, colors and nature.
Because of the difficult access to Tibet during the Spring and summer of 2008, it wasn’t until a traveller from Belgium went to visit the children in October 2008, that we finally found a solution for the stranded cameras that needed developing! Here are the results: Dickey’s photographers present… themselves!
