VIDEO: Refugee Youth: Using Pictures To Speak A Thousand Words

The adage goes a picture speaks a thousand words. That may have been the idea behind the foundation of the AjA Project. In San Diego, The AjA Project runs Journey, an after school participatory photography program for refugee youth. On top of vast cultural differences, many of refugee youth come to the US speaking very little English if any at all. The AjA project teaches these youth how to express their religion and culture through photography.
