I haven't posted anything in a while. We are in the middle of our IS project time. For my IS project I am working at an NGO SEED located in Karumbalai, a local neighborhood in Madurai. Karumbalai is a very low income neighborhood and SEED is an NGO that helps children with their studies to help them get out of the life most people in these neighborhoods are stuck in. I will be teaching them photography as well as english. Once I give them a few lessons in photography I will give them film cameras and a set of prompts similar to my senior project at Watkinson. I will spend a lot of time with the children just hanging out and trying to make a friendship. After the photographs are developed we will talk about what they mean to them and why they took each photograph. At the end I want to have a gallery show for the children open to the community.
But recently I got sick, India sick actually. I went to the hospital and was released, against their advice and after 4 bags of IV. But now I'm feeling much better, so thats in the past.
But since being sick Im in the frustration phase of being in India. I know it will pass soon though.
