By Brian Ssozi | Team Leader
I bring you greetings from Rockies Organization, where we train talented young people in performing and creative arts, but also sponsor them in formal eduction and holistically take care of them. Using our Troupe which is our Social enterprise, we have been able to attract 10 International contracts for our beneficiaries this year alone, and they have been professionally employed in Taiwan, and China. In the education sponsorship, we have graduated nine candidates on three different National levels and we have been able to reach out to over One thousand people in our theatre campaigns, showing the relevance and impact of developing young talents.
We also made a recruitment drive envolving the community and we were overwhelmed by the number of applications of those who want to join our program. Although we were only able to recruite 30 new young talents, we recieved over two hundred applications. This shows the need of our program in the communities we serve and the agaency to create space for the young talents. We have also been able to buy most of the cultural instruments to be used in our studio room and a few modern instruments for the fusions we shall make.As a program of our Academy which involves this studio room, we have continued to create platforms for our talented young people as you will see in the photos attached. This is the expereintial learning platform for our students in the Academy and it builds more confidence to these young talents as well as professionalism.
Due to the great importance of promoting talents and cultural diversity, the Team Leader Brian Ssozi was invited to give a dance class during the Segal Family Foundation Annual Genenral Meeting, held in September in New Jersey City in the United states of America. This partly explains the purpose of why a studio room and the construction of the Talent Academy is important to promote young talents, to continue sharing, learning from good practices and bonding diversity in our different talents and cultures..
Next year in March will be the laying of the Foundation stone for our Studio Room and Our Academy and we strongly believe that with your support, the construction for the Academy will kick start by then. We therefore call upon each one of you, to share a christmas and end of year gift with Rockies, so that a talent Academy is constructed and more talents can be developed with in Uganda and on the International Globe.
