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.
