Early 2012, HAU will run an Eyes of Africa project together with photographer Melanie Rijkers (www.mery.nl). We want to give children in Kisozi (who participated in the hiv/aids workshops), teen mothers in Kisozi and street children in Jinja the oppertunity to discover their talents and develop their talents and show the world their lives through the lens of a camera and through art. It is a follow up program of the hiv/aids workshops and to create awareness about the situation of (pregnant) women in areas where there is no midwife (this part is linked to our maternity ward at the medical centre in Kisozi). And since Hau moved its office to Jinja this year and we are also operating in Jinja and surroundings now, we would like to include some street children in Jinja in this project. (Especially at night, we see many street children hanging around near the veranda of the catering project in Jinja). The plan is to organize an exhibition at the catering project in Jinja and one in the Netherlands. Some help is needed in this project.
We are looking for:
1) Someone who can design a poster for the Eyes of Africa project. This poster will be used in Kisozi and Jinja to promote the project and to give information. - TASK DONE!
2) 35 disposable cameras. The children who participate in this project will each get a disposable camera to show us their lives etc. Hau will make sure the photos are developed and that each child will receive their own photobook with memories. - WE HAVE RECEIVED 40 DIGITAL CAMERAS, BUT COULD USE A FEW MORE!
3) 75 small photoalbums.
We have contacted some possible sponsors, but unfortunately didn't succeed. The disposable cameras often have an expiracy date and when it has exceeded that date, shops often don't sell them anymore and yet, those cameras could still be suitable for use in Uganda for this project.
4) 75 coloured pencils set/felt-pen sets
Not all children will use the cameras, we will also have a group of children who are going to draw and paint.
Is there anyone who likes to help us with this task? Contact us here or at info@hopealiveuganda.org

Hello everyone,
Some time ago, Katja Jordanova designed a poster for the Eyes of Africa project and this week, thanks to photographer Melanie Rijkers, we received the news we will receive 40 digital cameras for this project from a photoshop. We could still use a few more cameras, but above all we could use coloured pencil sets. If you would like to help us, contact us here or at info@hopealiveuganda.org.
Help is much appreciated!
