Please join us for the Nzirambi Photo Exhibition fundraiser, featuring photos by Brian Pieters, on Oct. 27, 7p.m.-10p.m. $20 Tickets 

Earlier this year, Brian traveled to Uganda to photograph the 85 boys and girls of the Nzirambi Orphans Talent Development Centre. The result is an inspiring collection of photos that captures the resilience and hope of the women and children there. This photo exhibition fundraiser will include a silent auction, raffle and African drumming. Local businesses have donated more than $5000 in gifts to be auctioned at the event. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at http://orphanage.eventbrite.com All proceeds from the evening will go toward the Nzirambi Education Fund to ensure the children have access to high school and post-secondary education. Higher levels of education are especially critical for these children, giving them additional resources to become leaders in their communities and break free of the cycle of poverty that has defined their families.
