Portraits
"I make a lot of movies with special effects -- some things you really couldn't do in real life."
"I’ve learned so much through Global Kids, and not just about filming and editing, but also about the world and people around me."
"I really enjoy technology, because it's a better way to find out information and use that information for my community, not just for myself."
"My method of learning new software is really trial and error. If something doesn't work out, just go back and try something else."
"When I grow up, I want to be a cartoonist, and a video game maker, and an artist. Technically, they all come together."
"I'm teaching young elementary kids how to stay safe online."
"I'm not sure I would know my alphabet if I didn't have technology."
"There are people in need in Haiti, and we’re trying to design a new Web site for them."
"What I'm learning out of school I learn at a much faster pace and more effectively than what I usually learn in school."
"I don't have a computer. I don't always have a cell phone, but technology is like my lifeline, and without it, I don't know what I would do."
