Photo Gallery: Marika’s Work!
Posted Jul 30 in Photo Galleries by 5 Comments
A few weeks ago, I announced the beginning of a new idea we had here at World Next Door. It was called The Marika Project.
The idea was to give donated digital cameras to children so that they could show us their perspective on the world. As a pilot run, we gave a camera to a feisty little six year old named Marika (hence the name of the project). Her “assignment” was to capture Mission to Ukraine’s summer camp from her point of view.
On our upcoming trips to Haiti, India and Cambodia we will continue to give cameras to children so that we can post their work here on World Next Door.
But for now, it’s time to kick off our inaugural Marika Project Photo Gallery…

We are continuing to collect gently used digital cameras for future Marika Project locations. If you would like to donate yours, please fill out the form below.

I loved looking at the pictures Marika and Elusha took with my camera when I got home. They were such amazing photographers. I miss them both!
