Quotes/Comments

"Overall the whole project was joyful and I truly enjoyed myself" Sitarah Bailey-Thompson

"My definition of a role model is someone who leads by example, sets trends and doesn't follow the wrong crowd. Good listener, works hard and turns negativity into a positive" Marlon Henry

"We concluded to the fact that for us to be Role Models we should: Be ourselves. Don't just say it, do it! Don't follow the crowd, be an individual"
Maira Kuuh-Dibao

"I found the experience challenging, but fun and had a really good time been photographed. On my second picture I was told that it was not making any sense and had to be re-thought, which was a bit of a blow to my confidence but ultimately made me even more determined to do well" Nathan Beckford

Exhibition

An exhibition of the young people's photographs was held at the Kodak Express Camden Digital Photo Centre. It was well attended and the exhibition can still be seen till the end of July.
