Photographic Exhibition at Forte di Nago-Torbole (TN)

Aug 25, 2013

Roberto, our friend from the board, together with Why with Arianna and Martina, curated an event with a traveling photographic exhibition of our activities in Tanzania with abandoned children, and in Zanzibar with the children of the villages where we collaborated to give them kindergartens and education, we show you some photos of the event much appreciated by the public who visited us.

On the sunny last weekend of August, the beautiful Forte di Nago-Torbole, overlooking Lake Garda, in Trentino, was the backdrop for the WHY Onlus traveling photography exhibition for the second time. The idea and realization of this exhibition are the result of the work of our volunteers, who, returning from their experience at our projects in Zanzibar, their eyes still full of colors and their hearts full of the many emotions experienced, wanted to testify their beautiful experience through images. This is how “Tutaonana Zanzibari! The thousand glances of a piece of Africa” was born. An exhibition path that tells the weeks spent by some WHY Onlus volunteers at the nurseries, the meetings with the children and the inhabitants of the villages of Zanzibar where we find ourselves working, and the many unforgettable moments in contact with this wonderful land.

The exhibition is composed of 54 color panels, and our intention was to make them
a travelling exhibition: that is, taking it around, wherever there is the possibility, showing it to as many people as possible
people, use it to make our work and our projects known as much as possible.

The Forte Alto of Nago-Torbole was another stop on this tour: its beautiful
masonry rooms, its massive arches, have served as a backdrop to colorful images of faces,
sorrisi, albe, paesaggi, classi durante le lezioni, giochi di bambini, momenti di lavoro e di
leisure immortalized during the work camp in Zanzibar. We thank once again
the Administration of Nago-Torbole for the hospitality, and Nadia and Maria for the precious help to
create this exhibition.

This time, however, the exhibition was even richer, because together with us we had the pleasure of having also the friends of Gocce d’Amore per i bambini dell’Africa Onlus. Our strong collaboration was able to express itself once again, putting into common factor the desire to tell the commitment for children that all of us have taken on for a long time and that we carry forward with so much passion.
Franco sent the photographic material, and Roberto came personally to lend a hand in the preparation. A wing of the Fort was therefore dedicated to the Mwanza project, and to the photographs that tell of the many progresses it is experiencing thanks to the great effort of Gocce d’Amore.
