East Africa: Albino Awareness Day

Following the horrendous killings of our brothers and sisters in Tanzania and recently in Kenya, we have scheduled a series of events to begin from tomorrow. The Hon MP from Tanzania who was appointed by the Country's President to help create awareness on the issue is jetting in today to help us in the campaign. You can watch a documentary which was covered from Tanzania, together with an ensuing live interview between me and and a news director on Al-Jazeera TV at 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM East African time. They are bound to interview a Tanzanian at 6:00 PM on the subject of witchcraft.

We shall have a courtesy call tomorrow with the Minister for Gender before proceeding to Thika School for the Visually impaired in the afternoon. We shall be sharing our experiences and distributing hats ans sunscreen to the kids over there.
On Friday we shall have a series of other courtesy calls to various government ministries and embassies as a way of lobbying policy makers on our rights and concerns./

We invite all of you to join us in our open day that will be held on Saturday the 29th at Sarit Centre and from 10:30 Am. We shall have speeches and presentations in addition to exhibitions by albinos on what they do for a living. You could go home with a 25 inch colour TV as part of our raffle prizes.

Lets all come out and participate in this noble event to enlighten the public on our difference. Its time you can ASK all the questions you ever imagined.
If you know of any albino - child or adult who needs either a cap or sunscreen, eye care and or social support, please refer him/her to our office located at Moi Avenue Contrust House 4th Floor.

Kindly also circulate this email as wide as possible to your friends and networks. You never know who needs most help and you could be the key!!!!!
We look forward to your presence.
