We’ve all heard the stories about how some cultures believe that a photo steals a person’s soul.<\/h5>\n
Whilst traveling in and around the various slums outside Nairobi, Kenya, I found quite the opposite to be true. Taking Polaroid pictures that I could watch develop in front of the eyes of the subject and then leave the picture with them opened up a deep and profound connection.<\/h5>\n
<\/a><\/h5>\n
It may not have been much, but I like to think that these Polaroids are being held tightly in little one’s backpacks, under their pillow, or on their bedroom wall.<\/h5>\n
I hope that they continue to inspire hope for a brighter future, a will to continue their education and dream big for the life they want to have.<\/h5>\n

For the children of Kenya, I hope our memory board we made for you will remind you that you can achieve anything.<\/h5>\n
<\/a><\/h5>\n
Never give up hope. You will always have people that believe in you.<\/h5>\n\n\n
