Girl and tree

"Well, Rory told me to take this photo. But I like it now. It’s really nice. A student? Yeah? In the park, just relaxing. Yeah. Green grass, sunshine. Oh Yeah!"
"I am 16. I am from Kano in Nigeria. I have been in Oxford for one month. At first it was very hard. I stayed in a house with other young men from different countries. None of them spoke English, so I couldn’t talk to them. Now things are getting better. I am meeting new people and doing a computer course. I have applied to do my A levels this September.
At first I did the photography project because it was fun. I went with Rory and Albert and visited parts of the city I had never seen before. I enjoyed taking the pictures but didn’t think they would be that great. But when I saw them I was blown away – they were really good. I am really pleased with them."
