Most of you will know Jerry as the photographer for Hawaiianpix. However, you may not know that he is also very active in his community.
Recently a local non-profit organization,
Epic Ohana, asked Jerry to participate in a mentoring session with one of Jerry's former "
Know Your Camera" students, Robert Carlos.
Epic Ohana is an organization that helps children become self reliant and start a life of their own after they leave the foster care system. Robert was a part of the foster system, but he is definitely not letting that effect his future hopes and dreams. He was inspired after taking Jerry's "
Know Your Camera" class and wants to pursue a career in the photographic and media field. His hope is to someday get to work for National Geographic.
Robert is a very driven young man that has already accomplished a lot in the past year, and we believe he can achieve anything he puts his mind to!
Here are a few more photos with Robert and his Epic Ohana support -
Hawaiianpix would like to thank
Epic Ohana for allowing us to be part in such an amazing and inspiring organization. They have a wonderful website and we encourage everyone to take a look.
