Prince Harry Uses Promising Photography Skills During Sentebale Charity Visit In Africa
Prince Harry used his promising photography skills during his Sentebale charity visit to capture some memorable shots with the people of Lesotho in Africa. The 30-year-old Royal prince arrived in Lesotho to have a look on the development of a children center being built and to visit the children who are benefiting from Sentebale, an organization that he co-founded.
Prince Harry admitted in a Sydney Morning Herald report that he always enjoys taking pictures and the challenges that surface when it comes to capturing a perfect shot. "Although privately I don't take many photos. The best photos I have are in my head - I have some very special memories, mostly from Africa," Prince Harry shared.
During his visit, Prince Harry interacted with the local children where they participated in a cooking class, a beading workshop and some sign language lessons. Back in 2006, Prince Harry together with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho set up the Sentebale charity in order to help the AIDS orphans in the country as well as to provide healthcare and education to the children.
Sentebale's mission statement claims there will be "direct aid through funding and management" support to the community services that can bring a big difference on how the children lead a more fulfilling life. The community services include offering vulnerable children safe accommodation, hot meals or psychosocial support.
"We also consider more entrepreneurial projects that can change the lives of communities trying to support vulnerable children," Sentebale's mission statement further added. Prince Harry admitted that it was emotional for him to watch the children interact with each other.
"These are children who have never had the chance to talk about their illness, and who had no idea that they were one of so many in their age group. Some really outgoing chatty kids, others slightly overwhelmed, but all with huge smiles," Prince Harry shared.
The prince added that his recent visit has confirmed that the organization's goal will be able to change the lives of thousands of children and even save a generation. Click HERE to see Prince Harry's captured photos during his Sentebale charity visit in Africa.
"This visit was a great opportunity for Prince Harry to revisit Sentebale's work in country, meet the children and see the positive impact of our programmes," Sentebale CEO Cathy Ferrier stated. The CEO added that the visit also gave Prince Harry the opportunity to personally give his input to the next phase of constructing the Mamohato Children's Centre. The new children's center is expected to open in 2015.
