Ward Up

Houston kids living near a Superfund site tell their stories in pictures 1

Kids in Houston's Fifth Ward neighborhood are growing up surrounded by toxic waste, illegal dumps, and a Superfund site. Fortunately, they've also got Rhonda Adams in their midst, who's started a program through the Museum of Cultural Arts, Houston that encourages local youth to learn about the environment and their neighborhood and record what they see in photographs, drawings, and collages. Check out photos of the kids and their artwork.

    BeautifulIt's really sad what has happeded to these kids, and the way they are expressing themselves and spreading their beliefs should be encouraged with all children, and even adults and teenagers.  Really great work from project GROW. The kids did a wonderful job expressing themselves through pictures, they have a knack for it. Talented stuff.
