North Andover Resident Wins Photo Contest

Photo credit: Louise Daubresse/Amaya, of the Bronx, spent the day in a field of flowers at her Fresh Air host family’s home. Amaya stayed for 10 days with the Daubresses, of North Andover, this past July, as part of The Fresh Air Fund’s Volunteer Host Family Program.

North Andover residents, the Daubresse family, celebrated summer with The Fresh Air Fund and were among the winners of The Fresh Air Fund’s 2015 Photo Contest.

All winners were selected from the hundreds of pictures sent in by volunteer host families across the Northeast, reflecting the memorable experiences they shared with their New York City visitors this past summer. Categories include “Laketime Fun”, “Summer Sibilings”, “By the Beach”, and “Fresh Air Foodies”.

The Daubresses’ photo won in the “Garden” category, and features Fresh Air visitor, 11-year-old Amaya, enjoying her host family’s beautiful gaurden flowers in Massachusettes.

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877.
