o Keep (PD) informed of meeting location and set time for families to gather at airport.o Keep track of flights, preferably from start to finish informing (PD) of any delays, or possible hiccups etc.

Things to Do: Before you arrive at the airport, begin tracking the flight to see if the children will arrive early or late. Arrive at the meeting place early. Some families arrive early. When you get there, locate families who may have

arrived before you. Introduce yourself and any other volunteers. Encourage families to introduce themselves and share who they are

hosting. Begin checking the host parent’s ID and have them sign out their host child on the Sign Out Sheet.

Give each family 1 free t-shirt. (If a family has ordered additional t-shirts it will be marked on the sign out sheet and their additional t-shirts will be marked with their name).

Put the stipend for chaperones cell phones in each chaperone’s gift bag. You can also put the chaperones pay in the bags if you have a very close watch over them. Otherwise, keep the pay in your wallet until the chaperone has arrived and you give him/her their pay with the phones and cash. You may want to ask a volunteer to watch the gift bag with the phones and gift cards.

Keep track of the flight to see if the children have arrived to evaluate your time left to wait. If parents are late arriving, call them to see how close they are to the airport.

Handout and go over the Training Review Checklist. (The Training Review Checklist is located on the Private Volunteer Page of the P143 Web Site.) Discuss and answer any questions. Suggest families keep this checklist handy during hosting. Each family will be emailed the Chaperone contact list and their child’s designated chaperone just prior to airport arrivals.

and child to move aside and “talk”. Have the translator help them, if needed. Have the photographer take a family photograph at this time. During this “photo” time you can continue introducing new kids to their family and keep things flowing smoothly

and quickly. o Rehost children are fast and easy to connect to their host family so if you can get those children to their

family early, you will have less children in the “waiting” group. Since the kids get bored and tired quickly, this is a good thing.

Once all the children and families have been united, circulate and see if there are any questions or if they need help with the translators.

Please introduce yourself to the chaperones. Thank them for coming and give them their goody bags: (pay check, cell phones, and gift cards/money).

Please be sure and connect the chaperone with their host family or their transportation to their host family as well. (this should be indicated on the check out sheet)

WRITERSMust have access to sales force. Write short biography of child to be displayed on the photo listing. Information pulled from sales force that was gathered at child interview.

GOOGLE DOC: Please visit the BIO GOOGLE DOC at the link above. There you will find a list of children who need bios.

CHILD ID #s: Please choose an ID# and put your initials next to it so other writers know that bio is being written and not to write that bio. Once the bio is complete, please check the box indicating so on the GOOGLE DOC.

SALESFORCE: Log into SalesForce and pull up that child’s file. In order to write bios you must have access to Sales Force. (if you do not, please let me know right away)

NEW INFO: Read the “current” information written about that child. It should be dated 1/17. (Any other dated bios will be “old” information. Please read these as well so you can get a good idea of this child’s personality, situation, background etc.).

ATTACHMENTS: Another great source of information is the child’s final report which should be in the child’s file as an attachment. Always check the date to make sure the information is not too old or has changed.

SIBLINGS: Always mention a sibling when they are to be hosted together. PRIVACY: DO NOT list medical issues or specific background issues in the bios. Be honest but sensitive to new host

families who are not experienced with hurt children. o For example: saying a child is a very active child is a better way than to say he/she has ADHD. o Saying a child has been sexually abused on the listing is not appropriate and does not protect the

child’s privacy. Saying the child cannot be in a home with younger children (or male siblings or what ever the requirement is for that child’s situation).

o A difficult child may be worded “needs experienced host parents – or strong host parents”. STAY POSITIVE. Always write in a positive manner. Never write negatively about a child. Any negatives will be

discussed via telephone by the P143 Regional Coordinator or volunteer. WHERE TO LOG BIO: Please write the bio in another program other than sales force. We have had writers lose the

info they had written. It’s best to write it in word then copy and paste the final paragraph into the child’s file in the box called “PL BIO DESCRIPTION”. What you enter here will be exactly what appears on the Photo Listing.

o Please DO shift the old bio down by returning several times. Also label the bio as “old” so we may refer back to it.

o Always click SAVE before exiting the child’s file.

6

HOW TO LOG BIOS: Begin each bio with child’s ID number, first 3 letters of their 1st name in all caps and their age in parenthesis.

o Example: L1234 ALE (10), This child’s name is Alex, he is 10 years old and from Latvia ID Number L1234.

o Please do check their birthdate and if they have a birthday before the host season begins then go ahead and put the older age as that is how old they will be when they arrive.

MORE BIOS: Keep checking the bio GOOGLE DOC as more children will be adding periodically as they become available.

SENSITIVITY: Please understand the bios you write will likely get edited as more info comes in about the child either from the interviewer or a prior host family. Please try not to be sensitive about the bios you write being edited.

INTERVIEW TRIP PHOTOGRAPHERS Child photographers need a solid knowledge of camerawork. Must be able to elicit cooperation and smiles from foreign children. Must be organized in order to keep child ID with correct photograph and take all necessary shots of individuals and sibling groups.

HOW TO HOLD A CAMERA – to avoid the shake and blur Do not hold with one hand - use two hands. While it can be tempting to shoot one handed a two hands will increase your

stillness (like three legs on a tripod being better than one). Don’t hold your camera too far away from you. The further away from your body you hold a camera the more chance you

have of swaying or shaking as you take your shot. Use your right hand to grip the right hand end of the camera. Your forefinger should sit lightly above the shutter

release, your other three fingers curling around the front of the camera. Your right thumb grips onto the back of the camera. Use a strong grip with your right hand but don’t grip it so tightly that you end up shaking the camera. Squeeze the shutter don’t jab at it.

The positioning of your left hand will depend upon your camera but in in general it should support the weight of the camera and will either sit underneath the camera or under/around a lens

USING the view finder to line up your shot you’ll have the camera nice and close into your body which will add extra stability but if you’re using the LCD Tuck your elbows into your sides and lean the camera out a little from your face (around 30cm).

Add extra stability by leaning against a solid object like a wall or a tree or by sitting or kneeling down. If you have to stand and don’t have anything to lean on for extra support put your feet shoulder width apart to give yourself a steady stance. The stiller you can keep your body the stiller the camera will be.

Take a deep breath– before you take your shot take a gentle but deep breath, hold it, then take the shot and exhale. The other method people use is the exact opposite – exhale and before inhaling again take the shot. It’s amazing how much a body rises and falls simply by breathing – being conscious of it can give you an edge.

HOW TO CHOOSE A BACKGROUND – and avoid distractions Check your background for PROTRUDING Elements from Subjects Heads –When shooting a portrait one of the common

mistakes is for some background element to look like it’s sticking up out of a person’s head – like a horn. It’s often trees but could be anything.

Competing Lines – if your subject has lines in it and your background also has strong lines they can compete in such a way that the image becomes busy or so that the lines clash with one another.

Look for colors that don’t fit with the rest of the image, bright patches that might distract the eye, lines that clash, people or things that don’t belong etc.

Move Your Subject. This is once again a fairly simple technique but is probably the first thing you should consider. Quite often asking a portrait subject to take a step to the left or right will fix things either by putting the distraction behind them or by putting it out of frame.

Change your Shooting Angle If you have distracting elements in the background of a shot but can’t move your subject another strategy is to move yourself and shoot from a new angle.

Place Subjects In front of Open Spaces Placing your subject a long way in front of other objects will also help to make those objects more blurry. For example if you have the choice between shooting your subject standing right in front of a brick wall or standing in front of an open field – the open field shot will have a much more blurred background simply because the brick wall is just centimeters from your subject and inside the focal range whereas an open field stretches off into the distance where everything will be out of focus.

General rule of thumb with photographing kids is to put them in the right place where the light is good, give them a prop and then fire away.

HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH CHILDREN – and avoid the cheesy smile AVOID THE WORD “CHEESE”. The word “cheese” is to authentic photography what a bell is to Pavlov’s Dogs. The MOMENT a

kid hears it, they obediently put on their “picture face.” If you’re looking to create real, timeless images, avoid that word like an open field in a thunderstorm.

RELAX & BE YOURSELF: CHILL. Kids respond authentically to normalcy. If you’re stressed, desperately trying to pull smiles out of them, you’re going to get exactly what you’re asking for: strained, forced, inauthentic smiles. The best thing you can do to create beautiful art with a child is simply relax and be yourself. Kids are perceptive. They sense when you’re overdoing it and aren’t acting like yourself, and they’ll respond in kind. Also remember, kids love being treated with respect (just like every single adult I know). If you respect them, breathe deep, act like yourself and have fun, you’ll be a big success. Guaranteed.

LET THEM CHOOSE: Instead of trying to contain children to a specific backdrop, allow them to explore. They’ll be a thousand times more cooperative when you do try to get them to do something specific. Have a couple of pre-selected spots and let them choose where to start.

Get on the Ground If you’re not cutting your eye level view down to under 2 or 3 feet, then you’re not capturing the true child. When shoot kids a photographer should be sitting, and often times even laying on the ground even lower than them.

Use Props and Create a Situation try to come up with creative situations that will later tell a story about what is important to that kid. Have a few small props on hand… be ready to shoot the minute you hand them the prop as their reaction unfolds.

Let Them See the first Picture. Kids love to see pictures of themselves. ALWAYS take different poses! Different angles, close up and distant please.

AIRPORT PHOTOGRAPHERS Need a good sense of photography. Must be organized in order to capture each family with their host child before departing the airport as well as candid shots of family and children.
