Local children capture dreams with cameras at museum event

Local children at the Albuquerque Museum got cameras to keep and used them to capture their hopes and dreams.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Local children at the Albuquerque Museum got cameras to keep and used them to capture their hopes and dreams.

Saranam teamed up with Pictures of Hope for the event at the Albuquerque Museum. KOB 4 was there as children shared what they want in life and got a surprise.

“My dream is to be a farmer, go to college, a crazy cat lady, a crazy dog lady,” Janise said.

Linda Solomon said the children focused on goals like college and having a home.

“I don’t think there could be anything more special than having children share their dreams,” Linda Solomon said. “Their dreams are so unselfish, they’re not hoping for iPads or things like that, they’re hoping to go to college, to have a home.”

Janise said dreaming helps children plan for the future.

“You can’t really know what you’re going to do if you don’t have like a dream to do it,” Janise said.

“We surprise them with cameras they get to keep,” Solomon said.

Solomon said parents sometimes learn something new when children describe their goals.

“So often parents say to me, ‘I didn’t know my child was dreaming for this in life, I had no idea,’” Solomon said. “We care about their dreams, we care they can achieve these dreams.”

The children will return to the Albuquerque Museum on May 29 for an exhibition. Their pictures will be printed on greeting cards and proceeds will go back to Saranam.

Video: Roswell police respond to fatal crash involving teens

ROSWELL, N.M. (KRQE) – A dramatic crash left one teenager dead in southern New Mexico. New video shows the moments Roswell police responded to that crash, calling it the result of reckless driving. It was a chaotic scene involving six people in the collision, and almost all of them are minors. Roswell police said no teenager is facing charges.

On March 10 at 6 p.m., Roswell police responded to a crash involving a Honda Accord and a GMC Yukon SUV. In the Honda were four Roswell teenagers: two girls, ages 15 and 16, and two 17-year-old boys. One of the girls died from the injuries in the crash.

A bystander says she pulled some of the teens out of the Honda, but was unable to get that girl. In the SUV was a 56-year-old woman with her 11-year-old daughter. She told police she tried to avoid the crash. Detectives later interviewed one of the teens, who said the boy driving was going way above the speed limit, and the driver spun out.

Two other teens in the car suffered severe injuries but survived. The passengers in the SUV suffered minor injuries. The 17-year-old driver is Clarence Cheadle Jr. He’s facing six charges, including homicide by vehicle, reckless driving, and causing bodily harm.
