I am up to something very exciting in collaboaration with Color Up Peace organization in Ukraine as Kenya approached general elections next year. Kenya has always been a hot spot for political violence.

Within the framework of this campaign, we have invite interested people originally from or living in Kenya to submit photos of what peace means to them. We will turn the photos into coloring pages and create a country-specific coloring book for Kenya! The coloring book will be freely downloadable from the website of Color Up Peace.

No fancy cameras or extensive experience in photography are required. Enthusiasm and open-mindedness to engage in the project and tell your story of peace will be more than enough. Every vision of peace counts.

The Deadline for submission is scheduled to  February 15 using this form: https://forms.gle/PYrEUdp1vebeQPvv7

We are very grateful to be partnering with partners like Women Volunteers For Peace  in Kenya through me and Grace Adhiambo and Lisa from ukraine with her organisation COLOR UP PEACE.

Feel free to participate if you are Kenyan.
