Eleven students including one visually disabled woman from the New Horizon Special School at Cantonments in Accra have undergone a one day photography training workshop organised by the Foundation for Female Photojournalists (FFP).

The training was to enhance the students' ability to capture objects of their interests bodering on development in society. The photos will be exhibited and used as a channel to raise funds for the school.

The photography training involved six female students and five male students who were taught the parts of the camera, how to handle a camera and how to take good photographs.

Each student was given a camera after the training to take photos for the exhibition.

The Executive Director of the FFP Mardey Ohui Ofoe encouraged the students to take as many photos as possible so that they would be exhibited to generate funds for their schools as well as make their parents and other people proud of their talents.

The students were enthusiastic about the project; they expressed their appreciation to the FFP for involving them in the photography training and promised to do their best to make the exhibition a success.

New Horizon Special School is a voluntary, non-profit making, non-racial, non-sectarian and charitable institution.

The school provides day school education for children and vocational training and employment for the youth who have intellectual disability as well as persons with other disabilities including spastic, cerebral palsy, visually impaired, hearing impaired among others.

Presently about 140 children, teenagers and adults aged between four to over forty years attend the school.
