“A Big Deal” Fundraising Comedy Show
WHEN: SATURDAY, JULY 18, 2020 11.30-12:30 PM AND 6.00-7.00 PM + SUNDAY, JULY 19, 2020 6.00-7.00 PM
Dear friends, we are happy to announce our new collaboration with the recently formed actors’ association “A Big Deal”. They are an international team of improvisers from 5 different countries, with longstanding experience in comedy shows but, more importantly, they are keen on contributing to a good cause. Like us, they are passionate about human and planetary wellbeing. A Big Deal wants to offer to all our followers an online and totally free improvisational comedy show, where they will also provide the audience with ways you can support NGOs like ours!
Come take part in the only art form where inspiration, creation, and performance all happen at the same moment, where every performer is a director, author, and actor. Each show is based on a suggestion from the audience which serves as a springboard for the show. You will also have an opportunity to engage with the improvisers via chat during the show.
We are delighted about this nice and funny initiative! For registration:

Call for applications – Mama & Family Project e-internship!
As part of our Covid-19 response, SOGH decided to not perform any field work this summer. No interns from Uganda or any other country will meet the local communities we work with. In fact, their and your health are a priority for us. However, the evaluation of the Mama & Family project, a project organized and managed by SOGH and our Ugandan partner UDHA (Uganda Development and Health Associates). still needs to go ahead. Therefore, join us on our first e-internship!
Webinar: Periods in Pandemics: menstrual health activism during the COVID-19 crisis
Date: 28th May 2020
Time: 12:00 – 13:30 CEST
Place: Zoom (we will send out a link to your email)
How are you supposed to change your pads or wash your hands if you don’t have access to a toilet and clean water? How are you supposed to wear a tampon or a facemask if you cannot afford it? Menstrual health and COVID-19 have more things in common than you think. They both disproportionately affect the most vulnerable people, they both hinder women and girls from reaching their full potential. As with many things in our lives, COVID-19 is impacting menstruators and those who work towards gender equality through good menstrual health. Do you want to know more?
We are very proud to invite you to an inspiring seminar with four outstanding speakers from different parts of the world. Join us and meet Amina, Rebecka, Shyaka and Roisa for an insightful discussion around periods in pandemics and their work during these times. You can’t miss it!
