Water, air and earth through the eyes of teens in Arvin

Children of families who work the Central Valley's farmlands, who are concerned about air pollution, crop dusting, access to clean water, and high rates of asthma, took photographs of their community in Arvin, CA. The photo below is of a fresh water site, where families go to buy safe drinking water.

Partners were The Dolores Huerta Foundation, The Central California Obesity Prevention Program and Venice Arts, an arts organization which coordinates an 8-community participant-documentary project, Picturing Health, covering diverse areas of Southern and Central California.
