By Susan Tileston | Director and project leader MY STORY photo project
in two weeks time we will be in Mae Sot, Thailand, and meeting with our project participants. Because of their HIV+ status, these Burmese women have few opportunities for employment or education. The MY STORY photo project will be working with them to produce a video about their lives: their hopes, their fears, their daily lives. Using basic digital cameras, the women will use stills and videos to tell their stories. The project will give them the tools to do this; they will do all the writing, shooting, and editing. The piece will be shown in Thailand and Canada as a way of informing the public about the challenges they face and the dignity they show in the face of adversity.
Thanks to our donors, we have the cameras, and are looking forward to starting this project Stay tuned!
