Before I left for Ghana I stumbled upon this One article where an NGO gave 8 children disposable cameras to take photos of whatever they wanted. On my first trip to Ghana in 2011 I experimented with the idea of “seeing Ghana through the eyes of Ghanaians”, where I gave the students in my summer school class my camera for the day. They ran with the project and absolutely loved it. They asked for more cameras and more “assignments” on what to shoot.
I brought a few disposable camera on this 1 month trip to Ghana and had some of my kids take them for a day. Winston and Bean did the same project and some of the photos the kids took are here.
Part 2 coming soon!
This is what they captured.

![I'm thankful for belly laughs. For late nights by candle light. For dirty feet. For fingerpaint. For wiping tears. For being hugged so hard your breath goes away. For obstacles. For planes, busses, and taxis. For little kids screaming my name. For days so hard you just want to collapse. For smiles so big they could shake this Earth. I'm just so thankful for life.
