In Guatemala, we work with a bright group of youth near Santiago Atitlan. They are part of Fotokids, a local after school nonprof. Fotokid's Mission “is to help small groups of Central American young people from the poorest of barrios develop useful, employable skills as a means to self-exploration, expression, and discovery. Through intensive, long-term personal relationships with teachers and mentors, participating children learn to use photography, creative writing, and computers as tools to examine their lives, families, communities and environment.” www.fotokids.org

These two digital stories were made by Fotokids and their workshop mentors in Guatemala. Join us this fall for our next digital storytelling workshop in Santiago on beautiful Lake Atitlan, and a chance to work with these amazing kids. Learn more about our Guatmala workshop.
