Unite the People Concert - Preparation

3-7 Oct Unite the People – The first week in October I travelled over to Kisumu to be the official photographer for the Unite the People Concert (http://www.onevibeafrica.org/asanteni-sana/asanteni-sana.htm) organised by One Vibe.

Wednesday – the press conference which entailed interviews with the acts: Clinton Fearon (Jamaica) http://www.clintonfearon.com/, DNA (Kenya) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8ABrzRDL9Y , Shamir (Tanzania) and Malfred (Tanzania) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYNvbD7haL0. Clinton also did a couple of acoustic songs under the shade of a tree.

The Press Conference

Later in the afternoon we visited to the Manyata Young Generation Orphanage (http://www.schoolchildafrica.com/eproject-basisschool-kenia.php). This was set up by Simon Okelo’s Mum (Simon is the organiser behind the event). There are 150 orphans who were treated performances and inspirational ales of how the acts made it all intended to inspire them to pursue their dreams. The idea was if we motivated just one child to succeed that was great. Hopefully more. I was to capture the mood of the day and preferably one that illustrated that inspiration goal. I think the black and white shot below with the girl in colour does that? You can just feel that she is thinking “That will be me one day”
