About Yasmin:
I am Yasmin. I’m 17 years old and I go to Hinchingbrooke 6th form, currently doing my A-Levels. I am a keen photographer and wish to study photography at University. I Love the way that you can see the world in a different way through the lense of a camera. It is a much more creative and exciting world to see. I love the way that photographs can tell a story, and how photographs can be extremely powerful, they can change the way a person thinks and feels about certain topics. And i think it is the best way to be heard. I hope that Photography stays this powerful in the future and I cant wait to be a part of it.
About Yasmin’s photo:
This photograph was taken in july 2007. I was in Malawi with a charity called Malawi Education Link, We rebulilt schools and bought new school materials as well all sports equiptment. This young boy is holding a football that he made, He used a blown up condom for the centre and plastic bags for the exterior. We replaced it with a leather football. I saw many young children blowing up condoms for toys and it upset me alot to think that they had to do that. And with our help we changed many childrens lives. If everyone in the uk donated a football or a writing book to a school like the ones we worked in then the world would be a better place.
