It's a rainy Saturday morning in January at the Robinson home in the Ninth Ward, but it feels a little like Christmas as the kids gather around Aria Martin, a volunteer from the Kid Camera Project.

The kids are receiving their graduation cameras. They were the first participants of the program when it started as a plan to give kids something to do after the storm.

They were given disposable cameras and taught some basics about photography. Since then the program has grown to several other neighborhoods throughout New Orleans.
