We are looking forward to the start of classes, because the project actually has begun! The past two weeks we have been visiting the families of each student and getting to know more of Pirambu, walking up and down streets and hills, beneath the blazing sun of Fortaleza. Also, in these two weeks, we have constructed the plans (photographic display and pinhole) that will be implemented during the program. We have also been preparing the classroom at ACARTES, fixing the lights and painting the walls!!
During each visit with the families, we talked with some members of the family, such as a father, mother, aunt, grandmother, etc. We asked that they give us an introduction of his/her son/nephew/etc...Also, we asked what they think of the neighborhood and what relationship they have with the community. Another question we asked was their relationship with photography, if they have a camera and take photos of special occasions, birthdays, graduations, etc. We asked their permission to document the interviews in video.
We now have many different answers and interesting reports of some residents of Pirambu. This first contact with the families, excites us because we will work be working with a group of young people with diverse skills and interests. Each student and family are excited and ready to be a part of the Pirambu Peace Project. We couldn´t be more pleased with the group and can´t wait to see their artistic talent emerge!!
So guys, please send suggestions, comments, questions ... get involved! We want to hear what you think about our ideas and actions. Thank you for your support!!!
