Focusing on kids

Focus on Mentoring, a program that uses photography to offer broadening experiences for youths in public housing and first implemented by the Tampa Housing Authority uses hands-on-mentoring, cameras, and computers to create an energetic learning environment for kids. The budding photojournalists learn the way to take pictures, use a digital camera, and upload images to a computer, strengthening skills, which are not often taught in the classroom.
