Caraguata Ru'a is a small farming community in rural Paraguay right atthe base of Cerro San Jose. The Ahecha project was successful, atleast in the goal of having kids going out and taking pictures. Therewere four boys from the ages of 14 to 21 involved and two girls ages16 and 18. Actual tallers were difficult to coordinate due to thehigh schooler's conflicting schedules. There was a first taller witheveryone in order to distribute the cameras and give a basicexplanation of how to use and care for the cameras. The rest of theproject was done in a one on one format with each of the participantsin order to critique, explain and help develop their individualcreativity. There was another group activity in which we climbed tothe top of Cerro San Jose, taking pictures along the way, documentingthe journey, with some amazing results of the surrounding landscapesand rock structures.
