During the Summer, Riana Development Foundation arranged for a group of young people from less privileged backgrounds to take pictures of aspects of our city and community that caught their attention and to describe in just a few words what these pictures meant to them. The Workshop will provide a centre point for them to start thinking about global issues and how to take action.
