Viktoria (Vika) is 15 years old in 8th grade and joined our class in February, 2017. Vika has an absent father who has left family since she was born. Both her mother and grandmother passed away. She was lived with great-grandmother, and now moves to her aunt’s home because her great-grandmother was paralyzed last year.
“I like TFCFphotograph program and enjoy in the class. My favor is to shoot landscapes and photograph people and it makes me happy and relaxed. I can make friends in the class and share my feeling through pictures with people. I always attend the class on time and I really like this program a lot. It changed my vision and life and I would like to keep learning and be a professional photographer in the future!”

New class in 2017
By the end of last year, we finished our program for Children Home in Chui and now we have all participants from our assisted children and youth at our branch office and service center. Therefore, we have opened two new classes and invite more children to join in Tokmok and Bishkek since the beginning of 2017. The total enrolled children and youth are 38 currently and we hope we could receive more support from you and assist more needy children to participate as more as we can.
We have run thephotograph program since 2015, and we saw our children’s world through their lens and perceived children as being very different from adults in photos. Our project encouraged needy children to think in a more challenging and creative manner, and we expect them to overcome their disadvantaged situation and grow with confidence.
People are often motivated by the ambition to win against another and achieve a more successful goal. We are planning to organize a photo contest for children this year, and give an opportunity for them to achieve their goals. However, cooperation is more important than competition in achieving a goal. I believe we will provide a good team work exercise and allow children to learn the team spirit at our programs.
Children’s dreams
Like all children, they have big dreams for their future, and we hope needy children have an opportunity to think about their dreams as well. We would like to cordially invite you to join us and empower disadvantaged children through photograph!
With gratitude,
Wen Hung
