‘A picture says more than a
thousand words.’ Photographs can express feelings, moods and attitudes. Just as
strongly as the written word. Photography is a delightful tool for Journalist
to discover stories. Here modern cameras are both brilliant and inspiring
tools.
MY WORLD children’s Photography exhibition was full of enthusiasm for
the students, which led to lots of other things students deal with such as
photography ,organizing exhibition ,group work and personality development.

This project was organised
by Media Resources and Training centre (MRTC), Mr.Joel (photographer &
cultural producer) and SDC.
MRTC was established in
2002 by University of Jaffna. The aims of this organisation are to produce
professional journalists in the field of Tamil media, to play a major role in
the media training in Northern Sri Lanka, and to be able to influence the professional
practice and working environment of the media in the Jaffna Peninsula.
The process of this project
was very exciting. Students from Maruvanpulavu Sakalakalavalli school were trained
on basic-photography by MRTC student. After
that, children were documented their living places using digital cameras. Then,
they developed print copies of those photos and sketched some ideas on photos,
using colour pens to express their willingness and compliance. Interestingly
students express their excellent ideas on the photos.
This book is a good
document as such innovative project. We are very proud to release this great
successful project document.
In this juncture, I would
like to thank those who are very supportive to this project make very
successful.
