A Photography Workshop for Street Children, Special Need Children, and Orphans

Dear Sara,

Your vision, dream and existence is a bliss to the kids you softly touch their lives in a remarkable way indeed.

Your project is amazing and if I can help in any way then consider me a volunteer in your cause.

Sara,

I am so excited to see what you have been doing. This is an amazing step you have taken and a great gift you have given to these children. I am so excited to be going to school with you and am even more excited to see what you are able to do with your gifts. I sincerely hope that your education can only further assist you in helping make the world a better place and giving these children hope.

Hi Sara,
I need to say God bless you for what you do, it is HOPE for those children, and better futur for our country.
I beleive in tomorrow, and you gave me a reason to increase this beleif.
Thank you dear, in the name of humanity, and in the name of creativity, for all that you're doing.

Sara,

I saw this site two years ago when you started. I am looking at it now and what you have achieved and I have to say, I am amazed. Your trip from LA to Egypt to Labanon to who knows where....is a joruney of hope and pride. You're doing it all with great humble and love to humainty. Keep up the good work and know that we admire your work and support it. Best of luck.

Sara,

Let another year of amazing images from your students and seeing your creativity is that ongoing process that I so adore. I am putting this out there, I want to come next year if you do the program and work with you.

With few time and limited materials, you and they did a great great job Sara ... Once again, Congratulations ... :)

You are an amazing gift to so many, and in time you'll see the fruits of your labor come back with a gift of love. And once you find those returning your voice will be clear and more powerful with each child that you have touched.
This will be your history, the think people shall always remember about the woman I know as Sara

Hey Sara, I just saw a report on what you do on TV, such an amazing and inspiring Idea, wish you the best !

She used to say call me SARA not SARAH, it was an inside joke but from then till now, I've seen her grow as a person and the love that emits for what she does makes me very proud of her, afterall you can't spell "Heart without art".

Hello,
Few people impress me, or even leave a strong impression on the first encounter, and your one of those few.
Cheers for being such an interesting person, with a lovely view on life, and a passion for enjoying it.
And most certainly, cheers for being such a true photographer with "soul", I'm sure your hardwork will pay off, because your talent and passion for photography is truely something.
I hope that nothing alters that spirit of yours, but you manage to change others... Looking forward to more encounters in the near future..

hi Sara,
Thanks for sharing some of your experiences with me on the flight from Barcelona to Amsterdam - where you would change flights to go east again... (hope your flight/trip further was ok).
The work of the children you showed is amazing and the effort you put into this is really wonderful. I wish everybody, including myself, was as giving to the world as you are. The education you give these children will teach them, and the world, we need to give and share, not fight. You are a living example.
Keep up the good work with lots of success!
Cheers, Leon

Sara:

Just peeked into your website just now. You are doing such remarkable things with these children in bringing out their talent! It's amazing how this idea you told me about a couple years ago has blossomed into something that has gotten the world's attention - teaching children a skill that they can actually use their imagination. Imagination and creativity has been lost in video games and sadly war. Not only are you bringing joy and peace into these little ones lives, but you are making a postive impact on them by being a positive role model and just being there for them. Keep up the excellent work and hope you're able to come and exhibit their pictures in Omaha!

Your Children are not Your Children

They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams...

Show them the world from a different sense, or lense..

What is the phone number?
How do I communicate with Sarah?

Hello Sara,

I read about your "Capturing Neverland" project in the March Egypt Today article and just took a look at the children's photos on your website.

I'm very impressed with your maturity and vision, as well as, with the quality and insightfulness of the photos the children produced.

I hope you are pleased with the results and the confidence you've no doubt instilled in these young people.

Your encouragement will give them a chance to forge a new identity (by being heard) in a society that may otherwise marginalize them. This chance could very well change the course of their lives. For this you should be proud.

It would be lovely to see the work presented in Toronto and elsewhere in North America.

Wishing you plenty of continued success.

Hi Sara,

Hi Sara!

It was great speaking to you just now. I really enjoyed the pictures and what you have accomplished. Keep up the great work with the children!

Sara, your dedication and urge to help those kids was very touching and admirable. I am ready to help with this project or any further ones coming up in any way. And seeing the kids, in their brandnew outfits, being so proud of their outcome and feeling special was really a moving thing for me. I loved it. Best of luck and now we wish MJ was alive to see the other version of Neverland :))

Hi Sara,
It was amazing being surrounded by those nature talented kids, and about your project , I think I can’t describe it with any words except “You are a magnificent person , having an art attack” as you describe yourself in this website .
My best wishes for you and your project and well done

Hey sara,
you really surpised me when you first told me about your amzing project , i can't belive that your doing this for the street children , can't wait to phase three.

Looks like your project's coming along well. Keep up the good work. Send me that postcard!

It takes more than 26-letters Alphabetic system to describe this remarkable accomplishment ... it's not just a regular exhibit, it's a perfect example of Transforming dreams into Tangible reality .. Congratulations, Sara ..I Guess All Egyptian should be proud :)

Love it......inspiring and beautiful...can't wait for phase 3 :)
You go girl...

Though I'm still trying hard to capture the magic of Capturing Neverland in words, I had to pass by and show my admiration for all your hard work, dedication and passion. Thank you for bringing your ideas, spirit and inspiration to Egypt's underprivalged, I really believe Capturing Neverland will and has changed the lives of the children you've worked with. I wish you all the luck in the world, keep your head held high.

Dalia A.

I'm so amazed by this project. Both the kids and their talent as well as your commitment. The world needs more people like you Sara, well done!

I think the kids are doing an amazing job! The pictures are so inspiring and full of life. I admire them for taking the effort. They seem to be very enthusiastic about it, and I wish them all the best!

Sara , you have inspired me with your great project Capturing Neverland. I enjoyed volunteering on the field trip to Khan Al Khalili with the kids. I can't wait for the exhibit!! Farrah

Sara,

Great job with all that you have done. I have followed up on your progress from fundraising to planning to implementing Capturing Neverland and it has been an inspiration for me. Thank you so much for everything you are doing in Egypt. Raheem
