Jamie Rose receives WHNPA 2007 Project Grant
Freelance photographer Jamie Rose has been selected as the recipient of the White House News Photographers Association Education Committee 2007 Project Grant.
“Isolated: On the front lines with MSF in Northern Uganda” is about the doctors, nurses and aid workers of Medicins Sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders) and their work in the in the refugee camps in northern Uganda as they work to provide medical services to the 1.3 million refugees in the 20-year-long war between the Lord’s Resistance Army (the rebels) and the Ugandan military.
“Jamie wants to not only document an organization (MSF) that seems to get far too little credit for their work but do so in a war few people know is being fought”, Leighton Mark, WHNPA Education committee Chairman said.
Rose, who has worked with MSF in Africa before, plans to concentrate her efforts on the MSF volunteers and the plight of their patients, producing still photos, text, audio and a multimedia product. She also plans to give lectures upon her return to the United States to heighten awarness of the situation in Northern Uganda.
