An email from a Ugandan journalist

Below is an email I just received from Betty, a journalist in Fort Portal who attended my first workshop.

"I still appreciate your lessons and work. I always read through your work and really find it important to me. I have adopted reportage as one of the ways to let the community know some things that happen in the community but they have been given a deaf ear and blind eye. I have moved to different parts identifying and exposing some areas of need in society. I appreciate your efforts because if I had not got chance to be taught by you I would not be doing this. (Linked here) is an example and report by me about domestic violence. When I aired this report on radio it touched many people who are now giving some simple aid to these young girls."

I wrote Betty back and told her how proud I was of her. I will follow up more later in this space about this report and these orphans.
