Six boys, three nationalities, from grade 3 to grade 7. Giving voices to our children through the use of images and sharing their lives in Lebanon with the world.

The Dar el Awlad Photography Club (Class 2) is a group of six residents at a maytam (children’s home) in the suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon. The children in our club represent a slice of the diversity in Lebanon: Palestinian, Syrian, and Lebanese. The purpose of this project and website is to give our children a chance to express themselves creatively, to share their voices in what they see daily as a child in Lebanon. Each child has a photo gallery page displaying the photos they’ve taken and will also participate on the blog, offering their thoughts and comments on the creative process.

If everything goes well the final project will be an exhibition at Dar el Awlad sometime in May, showcasing the best photos these talented children have taken.

Using images to give children a voice...will you listen?
