Ssozi Javie wins 4th place in eLearning Africa photo competition

4th place

Camera Phone – Keeping Distant Families in Touch! (Uganda) In this photo, my mother (red dress) is showing relatives we were visiting in their distant village a video of my nieces and nephew on her mobile phone; she had recorded it in our home town a few days earlier. It served as visual documentation for her explanation of how the children have grown and how they look now. Video is a very powerful tool in Uganda, along with mobile phones, which have become a vital device. However, not everyone can afford even a basic mobile phone, let alone a sophisticated one.
