The student becomes the teacher

Der Lweh Htoo was one of the first 5 students the MY STORY photo project worked with in 2006.  Since then he has continued to send us his photos of his work for the Karen Youth Organization inside Burma. In 2010, after taking the MY STORY teacher trainin,  he ran his first solo photo workshop at Ei Tu Hta IDP camp.  Currently he is running a photo workshop for KYO committee members.

These are his most recent images:
