In rural Uganda, most children are traumatized by war, HIV/AIDS, or poverty. In response to this ever-growing crisis, two of the country's artists have developed programs to help these children. Okello Kelo Sam will talk about his Hope North Uganda project and Fred Mutebi will discuss "Art, the Global Medium: Let Art Talk."

      I would so much like to support the idea of introducing art therapy in Uganda especially in the war ravaged areas of Northern Uganda where i happen to come from.I remember doing art therapy with Mutebi Fred and also visiting Hope north.During these interaction i was able to learn a lot from these children especially the former child soldiers.Most of the girls are raped,defiled and the boys have killed and this remains in their minds,and only art can make the change we would like to see in us,since these are the future leaders who are being ignored by the community.They need protection and care in order to re-establish normalcy and be part of the global community.However,those who come up to volunteer and help these children should stand by their objectives and avoid corruption when they get assistance from others to support their community based organizations.I got so touched and made my own illustrations and paintings after researching on Art therapy in the north,topic:WAR Collapse
