Communications Specialist (VISTA)
I‟m the Communications Specialist at Our House, but the
kids call me The Photographer. This summer I found out
that one of our young clients wants to be a photographer,
too, and that she had a secret wish to be my shadow.
I first met Nicole when she was 9 years old and spent a year
in The Shelter with her mom and baby brother. Her family
came back this year to be part of CAFSI, our program for
alumni and non-resident families. Nicole, now 12 years old,
also joined our summer youth program. We didn‟t have a
photography class this year, but that didn‟t stop Nicole from
shooting with the Our Club cameras.
All photos on these two pages were taken by Nicole, 12, during this summer‟s field trips.
