I have spent the past two months in Nicaragua implementing Pedagogy of Photography to adolescent males through the nonprofit ¡Sí a la Vida! (Yes! to Life). ¡Sí a la Vida! has two residential centers for rescued street youth in both Managua and Ometepe Island, Nicaragua. It works to better the future of Nicaragua by reintegrating at risk youth back into society. A three-phase process of rehabilitation takes place through education, work training, psychological attention, legal aid, and community interaction.
The boys worked hard sharing their lives through photography and writing and their work will be on exhibit in the community of Altagracia, Ometepe, Nicaragua in celebration of ¡Sí a la Vida's! fifteenth anniversary. Photos coming soon!
