PIETY is a virtue best brought out at the sight of a hapless human being. Picture deaf children in photo exhibitions, art, music, dance and drama. A slice of these is free to the public starting Tuesday, April 28-29.
The Uganda School for the Deaf in Ntinda has organised a photo exhibition at the Uganda Manufacturers’ Association Main Hall in Lugogo.
It will be unique, given that the photographic talents of Steven Wandera Ojumbo will be wheeling the cog mills. The exhibition is part of an awareness campaign on the plight of the deaf children.
Under the theme, “Silent Voices with Colourful Heartsâ€, Wandera says the exhibition will depict deaf children’s everyday life — how they communicate, play, eat, study and share among others.
It will combine fashion and music and famous designer Santa Anzo of Arapapa models will also showcase her designs.
Angela Katatumba and Maurice Kiirya will perform in support of the deaf child at the closing dinner of the exhibition at Kampala Serena Hotel on April 30.
Photos will also be auctioned. Bank of Uganda Governor, Emmanuel Tumusiime Mutebile, is expected to be the chief guest.
The organisers say they want to mould “self-reliant deaf/deaf-blind†learners.
The dinner costs sh80,000.
The proceeds will go towards the construction of a vocational centre for the deaf.
It will offer skills in ICT, tailoring, interior design, fashion design and hairdressing.
