January 15 and 16 - The Photo Project

I plan to do a photo art project with the children. They line up to have an individual picture taken and, once it's snapped, they rush to see the image on the digital camera screen. We'll center the print on colored paper and the children will creatively decorate the border around the photo. Will the photos act as encouraging reminders of their experience with us? Hopefully.

Pencils and paper are shared - and shared willingly.  We find ourselves a few portions short as breakfast, a glass of juice and a small roll with butter, is distributed; several children offer to share their roll with classmates. Their generosity is inspiring - huge hearts in tiny bodies. Life in the barrio does breed some admirable qualities.

After two days of making certain that I have a shot of each student, I wrap up the photo shoot, return to the apartment to review the pictures and - UH OH - I can't tell the twins, Juan Carlo and Juan Marco, apart. Do I have a photo of each one?
