A Touch of Colour
A Touch of Colour is a photography and art project started in 2011 where a group of youth, all Anaktira scholars, were asked to document ‘their world’ [their home - island of Cebu] all sharing only one camera. Workshops with photographers lead to them going out and shooting their neighbourhood, Cebu City as well as the seaside and countryside. Afterwards the photos were printed in black and white and the students would add colour or texture to the prints. Anakatira is a double-impact mentoring program offering scholarships, arts workshops, environmental and social work experience to young people in Cebu. They in turn do community outreach once a week, working with street children, orphans, out-of-school youth and under-privileged kids.
"A Touch of Colour”是2011年開始的攝影和藝術項目。一班青年人（都是Anaktira獎學金學生）被要求共用一台相機來記錄 “他們的世界”（他們在宿務島的家）。透過幾次攝影工作坊，他們拿著相機走出去紀錄他們的鄰居、宿務市以及海邊和農村。攝影作品會以黑白兩色印刷後，學生們再在照片上添加色彩或紋理。 Anakatira是一個雙向指導項目，為宿務的年輕人提供獎學金、藝術工作坊、環境和社會工作的經驗；他們反過來會每週參與社區外展活動一次，對象為街頭兒童、孤兒、失學青年和低收入家庭的孩子。
Anakatira is a double impact mentoring scheme. Youth are given university or high-school scholarship. They in turn do community outreach once a week, working with street children, orphans, out-of-school youth and impoverished kids.
The program is now entering its 11th year, under the umbrella of local NGO, Cebu City Task Force On Street Children, established since 1989. Each new student batch become candidates as potential “second liners” to further develop the organization. Today Anakatira counts 6 scholars who will become university graduates and over 100 children to be impacted by our activities.
Anakatira is a non-profit independent organization that sustains itself as best as possible with private and corporate donations as well as creating innovative projects that enable its continued existence and to become increasingly self sufficient.
