Have you ever been at a professionalย photo-shoot? For Your Little Black Book I visited a very specialย one a few weeks ago. Very early in the morning I went to a studio in Amsterdam East together with magazine Viva to interviewย 3 women from Ugandaย for Viva 43.
As you probably all know I have a special relationship withย 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 theย campaign of Plan Nederland where they helpย girls in Uganda to live their dreams. Simply by not letting their dreams get ruined by something normal aย asย having their period. By donatingย โฌ 5,- you can helpย 1 girl for 1 year. With this money she can buy sanitary pads and finish her school.
