1) How did you enjoy the film? What stood out for you?

i loved this movi cus it was so sad. i liked that the kids actaully had hope of gettin the hell outta the brothels n gettin some hope for thier futures. wat stood out the most was the kids n thier different personalities. all the kids had thier own style of thinking in the movie n thier own techniques of taking the pictures that they did

2) Did you learn anything new about photography, life, people? What?

yeaaah . im noticing how the kids have this kind of pure talent n thier pictures are so.. amazing. what i mean is in the movie the kids were taking pictures from all angles n the most common things like the leaking roof dripping into a puddle became the perfect picture. thier everyday lives became pieces of art.even the simple picture of that girl doing her laundry on the roof n a random picture snapped had so much insight on what life really was like for them. seriously this movie made me think

3) How do you think the world needs to change?
How important is this

ugh .i dont want to write a novel about this one i have so much to say. when u (miss shen) were telling us about how some people were digging holes and putting used bullets in there to keep the heat focused to cook thier food it sounded almost..fake. growing up in this kinda area its so hard to picture life really really being like that. like we have stoves. i dont even wanna picture my mommy crouching over a hole tryna get a fire started to fill my tummy. im getting off topic. bottom line this is super important. i dont wanna sound like a pageant queen but i wish these people had better lives for themselves. i dont know anything about economy but y dont the developed countries help build things for these other people n give them alot more money n stuff then they already are. thier people who need to feed and support thier families too.

4) What are you willing to do TODAY to be a part
of that change?

i come from a HUGE family and we have even mooore family in africa and my mom likes to get these suitcases and fill them with clothes to send back home. we send some money over every month to so they can support themselves n stuff but im not really sure if thats like changing much. im not really educated on what i can do today cus what i just mentioned is mostly on my parents. honostly i really dont know. how can i help these millions of people with miserable lives being where and who i am right now ? thats a tuffy miss im not gonna lie i really dont know

5) Do you know a good song/rap/poem with
good lyrics about change in the world?
Post a link or lyrics to share it with us.

UGHHH . are u serious ?? im absolutly in LOVE with john mayer !! i coudlnt find a proper link but yu know the song waitin on the world to change dont u ?

6) Pick a non-profit organization that is
important to you.
Why is this important to you?
Do they have a website?

my grade 6 teacher would always tell me these stories about how her mom died of breast cancer and she ran some super long charity run becuase she was so inspired by her moms bravery. im loving the whole pink theme so i guess im a pretty big fan of search for a cure for breast cancer. well get it one day.

7) What ideas do you have for media
arts projects that we could do individually
or as a class to help contribute to these
organizations that are important to us?

ur so cool for asking for our input on this.. i would love anything with taking pictures of ourselves and making them even more stunning then they already are. like the magazine thing, i loved that. so yea using our own pictures is always fun. its kinda stressful trying to take all them kids pics in class tho so.. yeah. yu need to take ur time and look perfect =] but yea anything really meaningful like this project were doing about the brothels and anything that we use our own pictures would be great. have fun reading millions of students inputs miss even tho i know ur obviously gonna go with mine. kk gnite

ps. dont forget to give me perfect on all the extra hard work i did
