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.
