Peace Corps Partnership

The Ahecha photography program has been a huge success here in Paraguay. In our second year, volunteers have reached over 56 communities throughout the country. Ahecha is not only a means of creative expression through the use of a lens, but is also a way to promote arts, culture, and personal development. We are very proud that more and more volunteers, and their communities, are excited to bring this amazing program to their sites.

Currently, demand for the camera kits far exceeds the current resources of this project. The wait list for the camera kits, and thus the participation in the project, is over a year and a half long and cannot begin to accommodate all of the requests by the communities. We hope that by increasing the number of camera kits available, we can reach out to more communities and continue the success of this project.

On behalf of the entire CoCuMu team, thank you for your continued support!

Greetings from Ahecha Paraguay

Thank you so much for your contribution to Ahecha Paraguay's Second-Annual National Exhibition. This year's exhibition allowed the Paraguayan youth, whose photographs were selected for this year's national tour, to visit an opening ceremony in Asuncion to view thier work, as well as participate in a photography workshop. During the workshop the youth had the opportunity to speak with a professional photographer, as well as participate in sessions about creativity and social effects of imagery with respect to Paraguayan communities.

The ongoing Ahecha Paraguay National Exhibition has been a great success! This year the exhibition was invited to display at the Centro Cultural Paraguayo Americano, Villa Mora Shopping, Alianza Francesa, the US Embassy as a part of its Fourth of July celebration, and now at the Terminal de Omnibus de Asuncion. Participants’ photos amazed both Paraguayans and Americans alike at the events. None of this would have been possible without your generous contribution.

If you are interested in seeing more photos taken by Ahecha participants, please visit our Flickr account: www.flickr.com/ahechaparaguay.
