Hello,
I am in need of old or new digital cameras (point and shoot or DSLR) that will possibly help change somebody's life.
I am a volunteer for the International Refugee Center's Youth Program here in Salt Lake City. http://www.theIRC.org/slc (http://www.theIRC.org/slc)
A lot of the refugee youth show an interest in photography but are not able to fulfill their desire because of no access to equipment. Access to a camera could help steer these youths life into a photography based career and could ultimately benefit the whole photography community in the long run.
I know that there a lot of unused camera's out there (I had two myself that I am donating)
I will pay for the shipping of these cameras if necessary. I know how much of a difference photography can make in somebody's life.
The first camera I ever picked up was donated by a teacher and it got me going down a career path that has proved to be very successful. Who knows where I would be if I hadn't had access to that camera.
Please consider. So far I have received zero responses despite the many posts and ads I have placed all over the internet. I can't believe it. You have the chance to change somebody's life for the better.
Thanks,
JP Jespersen
