One Bird Projects Reflections and updates on the 10year anniversary of the Riviere Froide Kid Camera Project With a joyful and proud heart I share with you the tremendous accomplishments of the youth in a small community outside of Port au Prince Haiti. For five years my nonprofit organization One Bird traveled to Haiti to conduct workshops in video and photography for over 100 youth participants in Riviere Froide. Our mission at One Bird is to create sustainable infrastructure where technical skills and enthusiasm for the medium is passed on and can be accessed whether our instructors are present or not. This collaborative programming relied on the support of University of New Orleans Professor Emeritus Yvelyne Germain McCarthy One Bird cofounders and directors UNO Assistant Professor Ariya Martin and Ryse Center Media Arts and Culture Director Tara Malik in addition to our Haitian cohorts at MEJAM Evens Mevoit Bruno Germain and Moise Mozart Germain.
