Cameras for Conservation
A nonprofit fundraiser supporting
Engage GloballyHelp me teach photography and environmental conservation to Ghanaian students!
$525
raised by 15 people
$3,000 goal
Grant received from National Geographic
All,
I was very excited to learn yesterday that my grant proposal to Nat Geo has been accepted. With your generous donations, in additional to the grant, we will be able to conduct this project in March of 2018. Thank you for all your support! Many more details to come in the next few months, including how you can follow along on my blog and social media!
I volunteer as the multimedia coordinator for Engage Globally, a D.C. based non-profit that collaborates with communities to expand opportunities in education and conservation. I am also the owner of Lovely Tree Photography, a blog and online portfolio of my nature and wildlife photography.
My goal is to travel to Ghana to teach introductory photography at the schools Engage has funded and then to take 20 of our scholarship recipients on a trip to Mole National Park, where they can learn about and photograph their country’s natural resources, including elephants! I want to use photography as a tool to help youth learn that their voice, perspective, and stories are important. And, I would like to teach about environmental conservation and how they can make a difference. Each student will receive a camera; attend a photography class, and participate in a project.
If we are not able to raise the full $10,000 needed to make this project a reality, your donation will go towards our existing education and conservation projects in Ghana. You can learn more about our projects at www.engageglobally.org
We all have a story worth telling. Help me tell theirs.
Thank you!
