Short preview of the DoGoodAsYouGo inaugural anthology, made entirely with images from our volunteer workshops. They have been taken by the youth and our partners in communities around the world, together they create a celebration of hope and life.

are wasting your time. But if you have
come because your liberation is bound up
with mine, then let us work together.”

3. Let´s go on a Shadow Hunt!
Emerging
Young
Artists!
“I often thought about
the shadows around
us always. Sometimes
they frightened me
because I didn’t know
what was there. But
after we took pictures
of the shadows, I
like to imagine what
might be there or I
simply investigate it!”
Maite, age 15. Guanajuato
The following galleries
sections of the Do Good as
You Anthology divide the
chapters that feature the
volunteering efforts that have
occurred in each region.
Each gallery section is a
collection of photography
created by the youth from
around the globe, and they
are organized by theme
and not region or country.
So the images you see
in these pages were all
created by amazing young
photographers that have
participated in Do Good
As You Go Photography
workshops!

4. “I’d like to think that just the simple fact
of being able to interact with people from
every corner of the world and totally different
cultures is already something that will certainly
enrich the minds and souls of the youth,
as much the same way they will enrich ours.”

Guanajuato and Oaxaca
In Mexico, our volunteers have the pleasure of working with
two wonderful organizations in two of the most beautiful and
interesting cities in the country. Guanajuato is known for its role
in the founding history of Mexico, as well as for the silver mining,
and of course the mummies! Oaxaca is known for its large and
very present indigenous population that preserves a strong PreHispanic culture in the midst of Spanish colonial architecture.
In Guanajuato, Do Good As You Go partners with local
organization Colectivo T.A.N. 473, an organization dedicated to
arts-based after school programming for at-risk youth living in
group homes and community building projects in marginalized
neighborhoods. In Oaxaca, we are proud to work with Oaxaca
Street Children Grassroots and Casa Esperanza that work to
provide schooling and basic health and wellness to almost 300
families living in the surrounding areas of the city.
Our volunteers have organized multiple photography workshops
that span various techniques and concepts. Together with
several volunteers, a new program is taking shape called the
Global Citizenship Program. Do Good As You Go was also very
excited and proud to partner with the Maya Rally to carry out a
large group volunteer project that created great relationships and
change!
The Maya Rally is a multi-week, multi-national, expedition
scavenger hunt and challenge course. This unique crew of
overlanders were given the option to volunteer with Do Good
As You Go in Mexico before the Maya Rally scavenger hunt to
waive their entrance fees. Five teams took this challenge and
arrived early to work as one giant team to tackle an amazing
renovation and community building project over the course of
five short days.

5. “I never thought of taking photos of
the place that I live: my house and my
neighborhood. In La Venada before
the photo workshop there was a lot of
fighting but now we are coexisting more
peacefully. The workshop taught us to
not fight. Now we feel more united.”
“This workshop changed who I am
from the inside a little bit. I always
thought of taking pictures, but I never
had a chance until this workshop.”

On-site
In Guanajuato, the youth of La Venada found beauty in their
neighborhood, when previously they only could see the
vandalism and the signs of struggle. By seeking graphic
elements like shadow and color, they ended the workshop
with a newfound pride of their surroundings.
Through the eyes of youth in
Guanajuato and Oaxaca…
We have been honored to share new perspectives on life, culture,
architecture, relationship and community with young photographers
in these two great Mexican cities.
The youth of Guanajuato & Oaxaca learned from experts about
the architectural history of both spaces and then embarked on an
adventure to share the beauty they find in their cities everyday!
“I have a passion for photography. My
mission…to share the same passion, get
the kids involved and help them to expand
and use their creativity in a positive way.”

6. “In the future I would like to
continue with photography
as a profesional. But I want to
be a teacher for little children.
They are people who are still
noble and without malice.”
Miriam, age 15
After multiple workshops the Oaxaca youth photographers
curated a collective exhibition. We believe that this group is
worthy of a show at many a gallery. Their street photography,
nature photography and architectural work has blown us
away every time!
“I am used to capturing moments in a
photograph to later remember them,
despite my age I still like dreaming.”
Alma, age 16
This year, two students from Oaxaca have taken on the extra
special challenge to help start a collective blog! With their
images and written work, Alma and Miriam have produced
a wonderful collection of work that is inspiring our youth in
other locations to join the effort!
