community service starts asap

A part of photo club will be involvement in the community.

Our first project is to work with the IRC...

We will be tutoring english to war refuges at the irc, its on the marta line- They really, really need help, these people were dumped off a C111 transport & their surival depends on learning english before the fed govmt. cuts off their money-  half dont have western clothes yet. It will be a real eye opener for our group- ( it was for me, and think of all the stuff Ive seen- Kirk)

Kirk can tell us what to expect, show them what would be involed, and take them down and introduce them, or they can work with me monday mornings-  I dont know, just a thought...........  but  it gets them out of their comfort zone, and lets face it, a lot of being a good photographer is learning to do just that-

here is a link

We will be discussing when people would like to go down to work there, and about the IRC in the meeting Oct. 14th
