SUMMARY:Project Uganda 2010 with Jeff Hutchens & Jamie Rose
DESCRIPTION:So, you want to do more with photography than simply show 
 friends and family about your world travels? Perhaps you’ve even tho
 ught about working either alongside or in the employ of an NGO to assi
 st them in their mission and gain access to their projects. Maybe youâ
 €™ve begun to work as a professional or citizen journalist and want to
  take that mission to the next level, to a region and country out of t
 he comfort zone.\n\nIf any of these things sounds familiar, then Proje
 ct Uganda will be your ideal workshop. The centerpiece of your experie
 nce will be working with directly with one of our NGO partner's in a r
 eal world, extended documentary environment. Workshop attendees will b
 e assigned with an NGO that has a mission complementary to the photogr
 apher’s own goals for their work. Each student then covers the daily
  activities of the organization. Your visual product will be provided 
 to the organization as a thank you for allowing access to their progra
 ms and will be used to further the cause of NGO’s in areas such as H
 IV/AIDS outreach, vocational training, orphanages and general healthca
 re.\n\nTruth be told, Uganda will be help train you to work with nonpr
 ofits on a professional level. Many students will come back with work 
 that will be published and of exhibition quality. In addition, attende
 es will have the benefit of logistical support, editing, instruction, 
 and personal mentoring during this process of creation. Finally, photo
 graphers who come on this great adventure will have honed their own cr
 aft while benefiting exactly the type of groups that need visual help 
 the most. Every photo on this project will go towards documenting the 
 work NGO’s do in the region, and the people who work so hard to make
  a difference.\n\nProject Uganda allows for freedom in scheduling base
 d on the photographer's and NGOs' vision. Upon arrival in Uganda, each
  student will meet with the instructors on a one-on-one basis to discu
 ss their photography, their assigned NGOs and develop a strategy based
  on the student’s goals for the workshop. We want this workshop to b
 e tailored to each student on a personal level so that you leave with 
 the best experience possible.\n\nAbout your Instructors\n\nJeff Hutche
