Since December 2005, photographer Lindy Drew has been Volunteering at Hogar Nuestra Señora de la Paz (NSDLP) outside of Santiago de Chile through the non-profit organization VEGlobal (www.ve-global.org).  For the past few months, Drew has been running the OJOS nuevos project, teaching photography to the girls living at the hogar.  For more information about the program, made possible by donations of cameras from Pentax, click here to see Lindy's first article about OJOS nuevos / Photography in Motion.
