Leave your comments about Kamoga Hassan’s work below. And now, back to our interview:
7) If you could have your dream come true, what would it be (personally)?
My dream is to help in anyway possible as I live to teach and train children how to learn the value of education. Cameras are just one type of furthering your hopes and dreams. The best way to succeed is hard work. You can’t give up always move forward. In my future I plan on getting my own editing suite for both video and audio, and film and edit all my videos and DVD’s. I plan on my project to grow, to be very successful. I want to reach as far to the stars as possible. I know its hard work but I am able to have my dreams to come true. God has already showed me this. I have a vision. I also want to start up country wide tours where policy markers and NGO can interact with children and know their problems. In future I want also to work with different charity organizations to better the lives of children in Africa .
Challenges
Like I said in the very first beginning, our original idea was to empower the children by teaching them lifetime skills but the situation of dire need is now dragging us into paying school fees for young children who cannot join our audiovisual classes. Videography and photography being a new type of production to the children in Uganda , it requires a trainee to be of at least 15 years of age yet there are young children that Visual Power would cater for.
9) If your work/ministry had the best year ever, what would that look like?
My best work and project is to be “total success”, knowing i did the best job i could do for all involved in this accomplishments.
