Melanie De la Peña is one of our freelance tour leaders who lives in Baseco and took part in our Talent Development Program (TDP) where she found her passion for photography. Smokey Tours sought to develop this passion by allowing her take photos of the daily life in Baseco which we are showcasing on this page. Melanie feels that poverty is not something to be embarrased about but rather something we must work on. Giving her this platform to show her talent in photography, we hope that someone will take notice and help her realize her dream to become a professional photographer.
