Two members of Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao-based TEAM ORO, a group composed of fine photographers, videographers, stylists and graphic designers, met a very serious car accident just this week. Aye Navarro and Cocong Ohashi sustained serious injuries, burns and bruises. Aye’s car was totally wrecked and Cocong underwent an operation for internal bleeding. Both will have to stay at the hospital until they are fully recovered.
In line with this, TEAM ORO will have a Portrait for a Cause and Basic Photography Workshop/Tutorial. All proceeds will go to Aye and Cocong’s medications and hospital bills.

Please…if you’re interested to join or help in any way, please do not hesitate to leave your contact details HERE or you can also leave a comment under this entry. We will need all the help that we can get.
By the way, this cause is close to our hearts because TEAM ORO is the very same team that has been helping me and my Southrace boys. My youngest brother is also a part of TEAM ORO.
My SOUTHRACE boys and I will also plan a fundraising gig somewhere in Cagayan de Oro City. Please stay tuned for details.
Calling all photography buffs out there! A photography workshop for a cause will take place on Friday, December 5, 2008 in Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao. Beneficiaries of the event will be the street children of Agora, CDO (Agora is where the CDO public market is)
Registration fee only costs P500.00 and there will be five speakers – all of whom have proven their skills and talent in the field of visual arts, photography, layout and design.
What’s also great about this workshop is that an on-the-spot photoshoot along with Cagayan de Oro City’s top models will serve as the day-long event’s culminating activity. This is because renowned Kagay-an fashion designer Gil Macaibay III will showcase his designs via a fashion show at Ghana Bar and all the workshop participants will be part of the photographers’ pool.
There will also be a model during the workshop itself. Organizers tell Mindanaoan that one of CDO’s beautiful faces and in demand model, Natasha Mills, may become the model. How’s that for inspiration to all of you photographers?
Check out the poster in this entry. Contact persons and numbers may be found on the poster.
Join this photography workshop for a cause and not only will you have the chance to further hone your shutterbug skills but you will also have the chance to extend help to Agora’s street children as well.
See you there!
