My name is Mishack. My surname is Mahlangu.

When I grow up I want to be a pilot, doctor, or a police. The reason why I want to become a pilot is that I want to take people to other countries or continents like in U.S.A. become a doctor is that I want to help people in our community. The reason why I want to become a police is I want to lower crime in South Africa and in our community and in Africa.

Our Project

In coordination with Kids with Cameras, Student Movement for Real Change, and the University of Pittsburgh we developed a photography project for local high school and primary school students, where students had the opportunity to take their own photos.

So often individuals in these rural communities are unable to show themselves to the world. They are always the subjects of someone else's story, rather than the storytellers.

We worked with students in the Manyaleti communities to create a forum in which to tell their own stories and share their own pictures of life as they see it.

Their assignment: "If you were to explain your life to someone who has never seen it, what kids of pictures would be essential to show them?"

This is their answer.
