    Question about 2007 photo posts

    Hey just wondering if the Paraguay, Uruguay, Hondras groups are going to post any picts.  Other that the arrival one.  It seems that the Michoacan group is very good at posting but the others are not.  I understand this could be due to availability of internet access but I think it would be good for them all to be posting it definitely boost donations when people can acturally see what they donated to as it is happening.  I had a niece who when to Peru with a church group and thier leader posted weekly and you cannot believe the way the donations started to flow in.  Just a thought.  Thanks for your time.

    Glad to see Paraguay finally put up a couple of pics.  It would be nice if they were of the volunteers as well as the staff.  I know the staff has been gone for a long long time.  However the volunteers have been gone for a while also.  Plus with TAM's big accident, I'm sure many Paraguay volunteer parents are just on edge and a pic or two of their children should would go along way.  Once again I am not in country so I do not know the logistics of posting pics to the net but surely someone in Asunción has access to a computer and can upload pics.  If it is because they do not have digital cameras then I think this is something that every Rout leader or whatever they are called now should have at their disposal.  Even if we have to beg Nikon, Fuji, Minolta, Kodak, Olympus, Sony and any other makers of digital cameras to supply them.  Even a cheap 100 dollar one would be sufficient plus think of the advertising for the company who supply's them.  I really think this is something that needs to be investigated further.

    Hi Ed,

    We share your concerns! This is the first year we have every had a photo gallery for projects, and it has been an interesting pilot. We want all of the projects to post more photos so that parents like you know what is happening and so that others start to learn about the amazing experiences young people have with AMIGOS.

    Thanks for writing!

    Can't wait to see them.  All of them.  Like I mentioned before this is a big marketing tool.  That we need to start utilizing to the fullest.  Thanks for your response and am looking forward to seeing many many pictures.
