Victor's Photos

Ugo took this photo of Victor, me and Yulissa.

Victor, 11 years old, captured some wonderful images of life around Salem in Mindo, all on his own with his first access to a camera donated by one of you! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
I have lessened the resolution on these photos as I have had some complaints that it's taking too long to download this blog, let me know what you think.

Jonas, the very capable leader of Salem Mindo with his children.

Not sure how Victor took this shot, I didn't rotate it. Turned the camera upside down?? Who does that??? Good photo!

Doing homework.






Karen, also from Germany, takes good care of the children along with Jonas.

He's not feeling too well.



Janet, my friend from CT, taking the children to the plaza for photos.

An innocent passerby that Victor asked to pose for him.


Paula works at Salem, too, and is from Mindo.


Victor popped into this store to take her photo.


Not sure who these people are, but a part of Mindo life that I don't have access to.

Another happy child!

The Children of Salem International in Mindo


The children of Salem International, the German foundation that cares for 12 children on a boarding basis, and another 24 on a day care after school everyday schedule, loved the cameras. They took to them right away and the biggest challenge was keeping them charged and the memory cards empty enough for them to fill them up again. Here are some photos I took of them and some they took of me and each other.





Taken by one of the children, Janet is on the right, a friend of mine from the states that was a big help.



The boy in the middle is deaf, he really enjoyed using the cameras and come up with some great shots.
