The Malafi Photo Initiative is a small grassroots project working with 14 orphaned children in rural Sichuan Province. The project aims to provide some basic financial assistance for the children for a three-year period, and to enrich the participating children with a fun, creative experience. The project supplied cameras to 14 children who then collectively chose and worked to the visual theme My Village Life. Basic photography workshops provided children with the skills and inspiration to document their own lives through their own eyes. The workshops also acted as a platform for self expression and communication. Exhibition and print sales in Shanghai will be used to raise funds and a local exhibit in Liangshan is planned to display the work and inspire local community awareness and understanding.
