About Be1Vision: Be1 Vision |
Be1 Vision was created by photographer, Krystle Marcellus, to offer a range of communities a medium to tell their stories. The photography program is taught in a journalistic style. A ‘baptism by fire approach’ is used, letting students try on their own and then are guided through critiques of their photos, helping them to make a better aesthetic and tell their stories in a more complete way.

Be1 Vision operates with the help of donations of cameras and funds. They publish a blog at Be1 Vision | and are also showing printed work at various locations. Currently Be1 Vision is working on a 2-month project in Muñoz, Puerto Plata with the Haitian community.

“I like photography a lot because its very important, when I am shooting pictures I feel good…” –Student from Muñoz, Puerto Plata

About Project Esperanza: www
Project Esperanza is a non-profit organization that began as and remains a Virginia Tech student organization, but is also now a registered non-profit organization in both the United States and the Dominican Republic. Project Esperanza serves to connect the Blacksburg, Virginia community and the Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic community through service. Our programs are designed to work toward breaking the cycle of poverty present among the lower social classes in these two communities, as well as toward breaking the cycle of apathy present among the upper classes. The majority of our programs serve the Haitian population of Puerto Plata in the areas of education, social aid, and community development.


With Love,
