Photo Camp India brought together 20 students from rural and urban areas in Rajasthan, a northwestern state in India. The camp was staffed by Ed Kashi, Jim Webb, Sadie Quarrier and Lindsay McCullough, and was presented in partnership with Sanjhi, an NGO out of Udaipur, India.
The students photographed the rural and urban communities’ relationships to the environment, learning about and experiencing the effects of deforestation, sustainability and solid waste removal.
Together, the students created a photographic story that shows their passion for making their communities, and the world, a healthier and greener place to live.
Students will also have the opportunity to continue their relationship with Sanjhi, as environmental activists and photographers, made possible by a camera and curriculum donation for a leave-behind program. Digital SLR cameras were provided through a generous donation by Olympus Imaging. Stay tuned for updates on the how the program is doing.

Hello I am Interested in organize a photo camp
I have the proposal in mind and the I find the camps how that dream came true. I am studying of master in research in sustainability and climate change in Leeds UK and am I am candidate to the PhD Institute of Climate Change and I want to develop one project with you.
I am from Mexico and I am really enthusiastic in present the perspective and opinions of the climate change of the children who live near the coast in Mexico. I love the photography and but I love most the potential of the participation of the people and how the images are the magic bridge between the awareness and the empowerment. I believe the photo camps are the best framework to rise awareness of the situation of the climate change and the conditions of the community, mainly because are a vulnerable areas prone to floods and hurricanes. However the community rich in culture and biodiversity has the potential to transmit how working together a more sustainable future is possible
Looking forwards to start this project as soon as possible
