Compact Digital Cameras needed for Volunteer project

11 years 5 months ago #261659 by VAiM
Hello,
I am going to volunteer in Vietnam, Saigon, in a free school for poor children. Education is very expensive over there and that is why it is important to support free education for families with limited to no incomes.
I will teach the children some photography basics but most of all to look around, express themselves and be critic concerning the media.
In order to have as much impact as possible, I am collecting Compact Digital cameras for the project. Cameras people have lying at the bottom of a drawer and don't use anymore but need to be put to good use.
If you have spare, old cameras and are willing to donate it/them, please drop me a line and I will be eternally grateful :-)

If you want the details of the school, please let me know and I can send you everything.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Whoa, what a cool project! I wish that I would have seen this message two months ago, before I gave away my old point-and-shoot . . . . Let us know how your volunteering is going.

Contact Canon and Nikon. They have been known to donate cameras for charitable reasons.
