In celebration of Children’s Month, Museo Pambata, together with Infinit-O Group Foundation, Childhope Philippines, and Sinopinas, is mounting a photography exhibit from November 11 through 24 at the Karapatan Hall at the museum grounds.

The exhibit, entitled “Through the Eyes of a Child,” features photographs taken by street children living around Roxas Boulevard and currently enrolled in the museum’s alternative learning program, ATE Academy. The photographs were the output of a workshop conducted by renowned Instagram group, Sinopinas. “We were amazed at the talent and natural eye of the children,” notes Sinopinas co-founder John Austria. “They have an enthusiasm to learn and a natural love for the camera.”

Proceeds of the sale of the photographs will go to both Museo Pambata and Childhope Philippines, who will, in turn, distribute the funds to child photographers. “We at Infinit-O Group Foundation are on our second year of volunteering with Museo Pambata and ATE Academy,” notes Executive Director Erika Aquino. “As the aim of our foundation is to empower our beneficiaries through STEAM programs, this photography workshop and exhibit is one way in which we inspire the children we help. We want to give them a chance to explore their natural talents and perhaps pique their interests.”
