"Buhay Ko sa Smokey Mountain" aims to teach 25 scholars from the
Smokey Mountain Community how to document and share their lives via
prose, photos, videos through personal blogs. The workshops will be
taught by prominent Bloggers, Photographers, Writers and Directors. The
Manila Jaycees, together with Young Focus Foundation, are working
together to empower these kids with the tools and skills to tell their
story.

The session with Under Ground Logic was the most technical we've had so
far. It started off with some major PC issues, which was very
disheartening. Luckily Aids and his crew were upbeat, positive and have
a never say die philosophy. Their perseverance and dedication paid off.
The kids learned a lot about video editing and the UGL team inspired
them to shoot and edit their own videos.

The UGL team even invited the kids to a field trip to
their rockin office in Makati. We hope to see Aids and his team again
for another session.

There was even talk about a Smokey Mountain News
Network! The Buhay Ko kids, using the facilities at YFF,  the cameras we
have donated and what they learned from the workshops, would write,
shoot and edit their own news about things going on in Smokey Mountain.

Thanks to Aids Tecson and the his crew at Under Ground
Logic for introducing the Buhay Ko Kids to video editing with Adobe
Premier.
