This picture below describes how one of my students at Corvian Community School touched me more than words can express, a third grader named Giovianna.  We were honored to come in as part of their art program, to teach a unit on photography.  This picture was shot of Miss Chanda and Giovianna…she brought her camera in to show and share, she has a very special right hand as you can see! No hand, but she is able to use her elbow…she did an amazing job manipulating the “big camera” too, truly astonishing…and inspiring!  She is one amazingly talented artist.  We learned more from the students than they were taught : )  And in our opinion, students included…we need to have photography all year long!!

A moment where there are no words to describe… shot by Dawn, Chanda Cares Charity was one of the few on earth to meet him.  Our sweet angel baby Gideon Matthew. His life was short, but oh so significant.  His little life touched so many hearts…and his momma with the strength and faith that only God could give.  She is an inspiration to all.
