Entebbe Orphanage

In December 2019, my duties took me to Entebbe in Uganda. As I learnt before the trip, one of our crew was collecting donations for an orphanage in the city. So I went over my closet and asked my friends too whether they had anything to donate. And so I went, with a suitcase full of clothing for abandoned children. As we entered the premises the number of children surprised me - we were told there would be around 20 but it looked more like 50. This I learned was due to the timing of our visit - orphanages get an influx of children just before Christmas! After we gave our donations the children performed a group dance that they had rehearsed and we had time to talk and play with them. They all looked so happy and cheerful, despite their rather unfortunate predicament. I was leaving with mixed feelings - uplifted by their cheerfullness and innocence but saddened by the fact that their parents had left them behind. These are my favorite shots from a roll of Ilford HP5 shot with an Olympus Om4Ti.
