A Local Charity To Contribute To

Here is a wonderful way for photographers to help out a non-profit. Check out this organization. Picture Me Happy provides cameras to hospitalized children and bring creativity and joy into their lives. Volunteering for non-profits is a way to give back and feel good about making a difference in other people's lives. It's also a means to network and meet influential people in a variety of capacities.

Next weekend, I am headed to Tijuana to give a photo class to kids in an impoverished community. We are going to give them cameras, then develop their photos. We'll frame the best ones and put together an exhibition and fund raiser. This is being organized by Corazon, an amazing non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of poor Mexicans by giving them the means to become educated, learn career skills, and acquire decent housing. I am going to definitely contact Picture Me Happy to find out how they run their program. I should get some useful tips.
