Goal Four:
Technology
In 2019 - 2022 the OCF provided over $3,500 USD in funding to support the first computers, printers and digital cameras to be used by school children in Bwindi, Uganda.
In the future grants will be made to support similar projects in the USA, Canada and other regions of the world.
Specifically, the OCF will continue to provide a limited number of high quality digital mirrorless cameras and lenses, Go Pro video cameras, and digital webinars, instructional software and color print materials to support older students being able to learn and practice the basic and advanced skills and art of photography.
Very few local students or adults in remote regions of the world learn the skills necessary to become a professional photographer. Ironically visitors travel from throughout the world travel to remote lands and countries to photograph the natural environment and wildlife and the children.
In partnership with organizations such as Photography Inspiring Children in Conservation [PICC] allow the students to learn photography and use visual photos and videos to tell their stories. In the future we will continue to support the work of PICC and others to encourage children all over the world to develop their skills as photographers and conservationists.
