ABOUT THE PROGRAM
100cameras X Passion Christian High School was led by father and son, Jeff and Jacob True, during the spring of 2017. In partnership with local Passion Christian High School, a school that serves approximately 200 students. This program worked with 16 students ranging in ages 12 to 19.
Early on in the program, the students had opened up about their own ideas and thoughts as it related to everyday life. Taking pictures around the school campus and in the surrounding village area, they especially loved taking photographs of their friends and the natural world around them. By the middle of the curriculum, a few of the students were already exploring creativity with colors and angles and learning to capture the emotion of the subject in their images.
It was wonderful to hear their stories...to get to see Uganda through their eyes. Their love for their country and friends and family came through in their stories and photographs. - Program Leader, Jeff True

These photographs were selected from the hundreds taken by the students, illustrating the photographic and storytelling skills they developed in the class while also contributing to a larger narrative of their community.
A note from our team -- 100cameras X Passion Christian High School was an early member of our Extensive Programs platform when it was in Beta mode, representing a time in the platform model when we tested the opportunity for leaders and local organizations to utilize our curriculum and method in a way that allowed for student photos to be exhibited and shared yet not sold. This program represents an important experience for the students and continues to uplift their stories and perspectives as shown in the online gallery exhibit above.
