Teaching kids in disadvantaged areas photography so they can document their lives? That's exactly what an American photographer named Matthew Cassel did when he travelled to a refugee camp in the West Bank called Balata. There are almost 25,000 residents living in Balata, which is less than one square kilometer large.
