Have you ever been at a professional photo-shoot? For Your Little Black Book I visited a very special one a few weeks ago. Very early in the morning I went to a studio in Amsterdam East together with magazine Viva to interview 3 women from Uganda for Viva 43.
As you probably all know I have a special relationship with Uganda. The father of my boyfriend is Ugandan and his parents have a house in Kampala. A great destination for holiday. I’m very happy that I can return a favour!
This month I support the campaign of Plan Nederland where they help girls in Uganda to live their dreams. Simply by not letting their dreams get ruined by something normal a as having their period. By donating € 5,- you can help 1 girl for 1 year. With this money she can buy sanitary pads and finish her school.

Power-women in Uganda
The Ugandan women in the photo-shoot for Viva magazine are real power-women. Women with a special story to tell about their lives. With this photo-shoot and interview they support this project in Uganda too.
In the behind the scenes report you can see how it works at a professional photo-shoot!
Lilian (37) lost her dad in the ’70 during the war in Uganda. Thanks to funding she could finish her school and go to university in Kampala. After graduation she went to London to get her Master degree!
Jackie (25) started her own business when she was only 15 years old. In ugand Uganda had her own fashion store and was an independent woman. She’s only in Holland for 2,5 years but already finished a Dutch study. In Holland she want to start a business again!
Nyaketcho (30) moved to Holland when she was 9 years old. This year it’s 20 years ago that her mother died of Aids. Now she’s a mom herself and proud about having a healthy son!
