"This... was one of the most meaningful, fulfilling experiences. It was truly a blessing to be able to step outside of the classroom into the real world and apply my photography skills to a project I am certain will touch the lives of many. I can not thank The Light Factory enough for this wonderful opportunity."
- Sarah Reeves, Participant, “Message in a Bottle”
