Kenya

I've been in Kenya for about 2 weeks now, working on my project, Shoot Cameras Not Guns. I started this project in 2006 while teaching photography to Burmese refugees, students and journalists-in-exile living in Thailand.

ShootCamerasNotGuns.org teaches photography to empower people in conflict and post-conflict areas in the US and abroad by using photography as a tool for journalism, story-telling and self expression.

We are always in need of monetary donations as well as donations of used (or new!) digital cameras and digital camera accessories (memory cards, batteries, USB cords, memory card readers, camera cases, international plug adapters, etc). Click here to donate or get in touch with me to donate goods. (info@DianaSabreen.com or Diana@ShootCamerasNotGuns.org)

For this Kenya trip, Shoot Cameras Not Guns has partnered with Technology Partnership, another non-profit that is providing 300 computers and technical training to primary and secondary schools in Kenya. John Kamwara, the Kenya Director of Technology Partnership, sits on the right.

On the way to Meru, we stopped at the Trout Tree Restaurant, a trout farm, treehouse, restaurant playground that had monkeys living in it!
