Uganda Art Consortium Founder
I'm a former journalist, union organizer, carpenter and baker. I first went to Uganda in 2007 as a volunteer teacher at a primary school. I became friends with a group of artists and offered to help them sell artwork in the U.S. and on the internet to raise funds for holding free children's art workshops and art therapy for HIV-AIDS patients. Since then we've brought art experience and training to over 3,000 kids and adults in Uganda
