The MY STORY photo project (MSppa) provides digital cameras and training in basic photo techniques to Karen and Burmese refugees on the Thai/Burma border.
The training is about 'seeing'. 'Seeing' as a photographer. Participants look at and discuss each other's pictures, and at the end of the session edit their work into a yearly exhibition that travels from Borderline Gallery to Canada and the United States. After the training, students use their cameras to document their work and lives on both sides of the border. Photographs are for sale, with proceeds split 50/50 between the photographer and MSppa.
The MY STORY photo project association is a Canadian registered charity.
