Focus on Development is delighted to invite you to
an exhibit of photographs taken by students in the
St Marc region of Haiti.
The opening reception of 'The Young Haitian
Documentary Photographers Group - Social justice
through Art' will take place on Friday, May 4, at 7
pm at the Ironworks restaurant in Almonte, On.
On display will be 30 framed prints accompanied by
descriptions written by the student photographers.
The images of families, friends, homes and
celebrations comprise a unique archive of a proud
and beautiful people.
Further, the photographs show that the students have
an innate artistic ability and an instinctive eye
for composition.
Haitian food will be served and Haitian music will
help us celebrate the talent of these young artists.
Proceeds of the sale of photographs at our exhibit
will go toward accommodation, food, water and
schooling for at-risk Haitian students.
The show will hang until the end of June.
