Elise Belcher:

Elise became involved with Community Albums when we delivered our international workshop pilot in

Kampala

in 2010. "I was living and working in Uganda at the time. I was amazed at how the participants

quickly

responded to the programme and the results we saw. It became clear that Community Albums

were not only

helping to deliver a tangible product (photos, films and music), but they were giving

communities new skills,

creating a forum for voices to be heard and, most importantly, a way they

would be listened to.I feel privileged

to be involved in an organisation that is positively helping so many
