“Through the Eyes of Children – Life as a Refugee in Uganda†is an exhibition of photographs by young refugees of war and famine in the African country. The exhibit runs from June 14 to July 1, 2007 in London.
It is under the auspices of the International Medical Corps UK and the National Geographic, with sponsorship from camera maker Olympus.
By doing photo and art therapy projects, the young children were encouraged to learn new skills of photography from a team of renowned photographers from the National Geographic.
The young refugees, aged between 12 and 20, were allowed the use of the Olympus E System cameras and lenses to communicate the harsh reality of their displaced lives.
