Life shown through the lenses of ethnic children

Twenty Muong children in Hoa Binh Province’s Kim Boi District have had a chance to take part in a project which allowed them to take photos of life in their community.

Little photographers

The exhibition was arranged by ChildFund Vietnam and displayed around 120 photos taken from April to May by 20 Muong children in the district.

Photographers were children from Du Sang and Kim Truy communes who were given basic training in photography. They were encouraged to take photos of their living spaces with support from local childcare workers.

Many of the photos could be deemed shocking, as the children are in shown in precarious positions, unaware of the dangers surrounding them. ChildFund Vietnam hoped that the project would raise awareness of the plight of children in these communities.
