I am a Mali RPCV '96-'98 involved in a photography workshop with kids in the villages of Damy and Kuwara, outside of Tominian, from January 24-February 3, 2005. We would like to invite any PCVs in the area, who may be interested, to join us during the workshop to share your insight and experience and to assist in translation.

"Visual Griots", a one-week photography workshop for the children of Tominian, will help enable Malian children to tell their communities' stories through photography. Our goal is to use photography to enliven thinking about culture, family, community and one's place in it. As well, the workshop will foster cultural exchange by including Malian photographers in our workshop team.
