In an effort to present a different perspective on the San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood, KQED collaborated with 826 Valencia, Tenderloin Center to invite 28 students from grades two to five to document their lives using disposable cameras. 
(Mohammed Haidar Khaled) 
San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood, often in the news for headlines associated with crime, homelessness and drug use, has the highest concentration of kids in all of San Francisco. 
So a reporter decided to give Tenderloin kids disposable cameras to see the neighborhood from their perspective.
