A photo-novel stands in between a novel and a movie, the basic difference being that the pictures in a photo-novel are still, not moving, and the dialogue is read, not listened to. In House of Mercy, the youth of Vibandani Youth Club are out looking for any project in their community to give a hand. By some blind chance, they find a secluded orphanage, called House of Mercy. In an attempt to inquire about how they can help, they are ruthlessly thrown out! Why would potential helpers be thrown out like that? House of Mercy is a product of a year's project that was sponsored by UNESCO and was a collaboration of five publishers from Uganda (Fountain Publishers), Kenya (Focus Publishers), Tanzania (Mkuki Na Nyota), Zimbabwe (Weaver Books), Namibia (Zebra Publishers) and Zambia (Maiden Publishers).

Wrinkled Faces: "A Play"By:Connie Sebbunga-Masembe Wrinkled faces depicts the trials of a third world village family. It is a powerful and moving revelation of the effects of poverty on ordinary people. It is centered on the ambitious middle class Isabirye,, who in trying to free himself from poverty sells of his valuables to acquire a visa to find greener pastures abroad. He abandons his wife and two young daughters. Only decades later, he gets arrested, deported, and imprisoned for his part in the underworld deals. What follows is stark bleakness. Out of prison to abject poverty. Isabirye drowns himself into self pity and regret. Wrinkled faces is a compelling drama of intriguing ideas, observations, and insight about our society. It harps on hankering after success, achievement and materialism. It covers the impact of depression, emptiness, loneliness, meaninglessness, guilt and shame. It tickles us to rethink why we are the way we are. Release date:2010 Language:English
