Upcoming exhibit of photos captured by Kenyan orphans
If you’ve been reading this since June-ish, you know that I spent five weeks this summer in Kisumu, Kenya. Well, we’re just days away from launching a major exhibition called Pieces of Innocence in the lobby of the Pearson Building (Foreign Affairs headquarters at 125 Sussex Drive in Ottawa). The exhibit will be open to the public from Monday, October 6 to Friday, October 31, 2008.
For more info on the exhibit, you can check out the event page on Facebook.
It would also be super cool if you joined the Tumaini Children’s Project Facebook Group!
If you feel like contributing but know you wont be able to make it to the exhibit in October, I still have some of my own prints for sale on Etsy. The kids’ photos will also be available for sale. More details on this soon…
I also want to say thank you, asante sana (Kiswahili) and ero komano (Luo) to some of our major supporters including MoreTimeMoms, GPC Labworks and Michelle’s Frame Maker and Gallery in North Bay. Michelle was completely stupendous and provided an overwhelming contribution in framing supplies for this exhibit. A lot of other businesses in North Bay supported the project too. Thanks to everyone for their generosity.
That’s it for now, I think. More to come later. Leave a comment if you have any questions!
