Jahechakuri
The Ahecha photography project is drawing to a close. We’ve returned the cameras, developed the best photos from the more than 5,000 taken by our students, and held a little exposition in the lobby of the town court house. Now it just remains to do a photo swap with another project community. Then, if all goes well, some of our kids’ photos will be shown at the national exhibit in Asunción.
Want to see our favorites? I’ve put them up recently on Ahecha’s Flickr page. Click on over and take a gander. The Flickr page is for a limited time only. Try the dedicated page on this website, instead.
The Guaraní word of the day is poteí, meaning six. These poteí mita’iguera really did us proud with their work. But they’d giggle if you said that to them. Your modern Guaraní speaker tends to prefer Spanish for numbers over 5 or below 1.

The pictures were great. The images were well composed and each offered interesting points of view. I especially enjoyed the picture of the four little children clapping as well as the girl with a cup sitting in the shadows. Good work and congrats to all.
