“Appreciation to CPAR Uganda for the master class in photography that has really enhanced my photography abilities. Many photos I took today in a ceremony that I was invited to cover. I’m so proud of the 30 plus photos I took today. Each of them have stories to tell. My client is surely impressed by the photos I’ve sent to him so far. Words cannot express how grateful I am to this initiative. I pray the good Lord blesses team CPAR Uganda for the good you are doing for us the future agents of change. Thank you🙏🙏”

Doing that which contributes to the achievement of our mission, “stimulating development, dissemination and widespread application of technologies suitable and adaptable to the social cultural and economic conditions of Uganda,” is when we feel most productive.

We are energized by feedback, such as the message from Okello, herein above. Being recognized as having enhanced the endowment of a young man and a ‘young photographer’ is motivating.

Paying it forward …

Media Change Agent Okello, we, at CPAR Uganda, are delighted to read how the knowledge and skills you learned from our photography masterclass are enabling you to do good, while you earn a living.

“My reason for applying and coming to attend the CPAR Photography Masterclass is to acquire professional photography skills, so as to upgrade my sports journalism skills,” you testified.
