PREAMBLE/ INTRODUCTION:
The People with skin disabilities (ALBINOS) have come under great threat and attack, which has left some 245 albinos dead, and several others handicapped through amputation. Limbs of ALBINOS are madly sought by unknown people allegedly in pursuit of wealth-making, at the advice of witch doctors.
This project is intended to raise the awareness among the audience (4 million people) in the Lake Victoria region about the need to protect and respect the human rights of the ALBINOS. The project seeks through radio programs, to create. The outcome is that ALBINOS are not killed nor threatened.
The project seeks to carry out an operational research, collect/ gather information about facts, hold policy/ security meetings with concerned people and produce/ broadcast 24 radio programs hilghiling the plight faced by ALBINOS and also advocating for peace, respect and protection of the ALBINOS.
The killings of the ALBINOS have become widespread and an issue of high concern in the country. Following the unearthing of the practice by a BBC reporter VICK NTETEMA, the practice has now become widely known. There have been several incidents happening in different parts of the country. Kagera region is one such area with high incidences occurring. There has been several other incidents thereafter which rises serious concern in the country.
Background of albino killings in kagera region:
1. Karagwe district:
Starting with the month of July 2008, a grave in a village called Nyakasimbi was opened and bones of a person a village called Nyakasimbi was opened and bones of a person a village called Nyakasimbi was opened and bones of a person a village called Nyakasimbi was opened and bones of a person a village called Nyakasimbi was opened and bones of a dead person (who was an albino) were exhumed and taken away. In the same village, which has an albino, thre has been several threats with unknown people invading the particular home and threatening to kill the albino child.
Karagwe district has several albinos; These are living in constant fear. The District Commissioner has tried to conduct security meetings and promise security to these, but this is not enough. It is like these ALBINOS have limited protection- because the security needed rests on the community where they reside, to provide all necessary of protection.
Further the district authorities have gone a further step by secluding all albino children of school going age to a boarding primary school. This is a very commendable effort indeed. But the complexity of the matter rests again on the community. These children come from a community- this has to provide them with the due respect and protection.
2. Muleba District: The recent wave has spread to Muleba district. Here several police reports have confirmed cases of albino children killed. One recent sad episode was when Albino-Mongers invaded a home in a village in Muleba, broke into the house and amputated a young girl taking her two arms and legs leaving her dead. The Regional police commander has confirmed this.
3. Ngara district: The recent case of a woman amputated in Ngara is a very sad story that has covered the news headlines, and the frontline story by ITV. This is one of the few such sad stories.

MAUHAJI YA ALBINO TANZANIA
Ni masikitikitiko makubwa ya mauhaji ya albino ambayo yalitokea katika nchi yetu ya Tanzania na bado yanaendelea ila kwa sasa yamepungua sio kama hapo awali. Na hii inatokana na imani ya kishirikina ambapo mtu anataka utajiri wa haraka kwa kupitia viungo hivyo vya albino au zeruzeru.
Huu ni ukiukaji wa haki za binaadamu,inasikitisha na kutia aibu taifa letu la tanzania hasa kwenye nchi za kigeni,unapoangalia na kusoma vichwa vya habari na mahojiano dhidi ya kuuwawa kwa maalbino nchi tanzania..
Naona kila mmoja wetu itabidi kuwajibika na kulikemea swala hili wazi wazi bila kuoneana aibu,ni fedhea na ukatili usiostahika katika jamii yetu,serikali lazima ichukue hatua kali kwa yoyote yule aanayehusika au kukamatwa kwa kumua albino..hukumu yake lazima iwe ni kunyongwa,bila ya kujali ni nani au anawadhifa gani.
Na katika jamii zetu albino wamekuwa wakikumbana na changamoto mbali mbali kama kunyapaliwa na jamii wanazotokea kuanzia koo zao na hata jamii inayowazunguka na kuwachukulia kama watu wasiokuwa na thamani yoyote kwenye jamii na kulifanya tatizo la mauaji linakomaa, maana wanakuwa hawana watetezi wakaribu.
Hata wanapopatwa na matizo mauaji na vtisho wanakosa msaada wa karibu,kwa ujumla jamii imekuwa haitoi ushirikiano wa kutosha kuhakikisha wale wote wanaohusika na mauaji wanapatikana kupitia ushirikiano jamii.
Wamekuwa wakikosa ulinzi wa kutosha pamoja na siraha maalum za kujilindia maadui wao kama vile visu vya kukunja(okapi)na hata filimbi,filimbi ambazo zilitolewa hazikutosha kuwafikia walemavu wote wa ngozi, na zana nyingine ambazo ni muhimu sana kama vile Bastola zitakazowasaidia sana kupambana na wauaji hawa. Na serikari inabidi iweke ulinzi kamili na kufuatilia kesi zao ziwe na uzito katika ufuatiliaji.
Kukosa wafadhili wa kuwawezesha mitaji ya kuanzisha biashara ndondogo na hii ni pamoja na kukosa ofisi maalum ya kufanyia kazi zao na vifaa vya kutosha vya mawasiliano kama vile Simu, radio na kamera kwa ajili ya kupiga picha mazingira wanayoishi kuwa ni ya hatarishi zaidi na kuwafanya wasioamini kuwa wako kwenye mazingira magumu waweze kuamini haya yanayozungumzwa.

Elieth Sekiku mimi mmojawapo aliyehudhuria mafunzo ya waandishi wa habari kwa kutumia Internat katika mawasiliano hasa kwenye vyombo vya habari na kuona ni jinsi gani internat inaweza kusaidiaje jamii..
Bw. Peik Johnsson kutoka Finland ameweza kunifundisha kwa siku ya leo mambo mbalimbali, mojawapo kujua jinsi ya kublog ambapo unaweza kuandika ujumbe wako na kuutuma, pia ameweza kufundisha juu ya kutumia google kwa mambo mbalimbali, mojawapo ni kutumia google kutafuta bei za bidhaa mbalimbali, kutafuta picha, ramani, watu wenye wadhifa mbalimbali.
Katika mafunzo haya nimeweza kujua mambo mbalimbali kupitia google ambayo nilikuwa siyajui na nitazidi kujielimisha kwa kutumia internet niweze kujiendeleza zaidi
Imeonekana kuwa, google kwa siku inatumiwa na watu zaidi ya 1.5 billion na zaidi ya watu 400 million watumia yahoo mail kwa siku. Hii inaonyesha kuwa watu wanajua umuhimu wa mambo juu ya mawasiliano.

Bw peik amesema kuwa ni vizuri mwandishi wa habari kutumia internet kila siku, ambapo tumesearch mambo mbalimbali kwa kutumia google, akiwemo kila aina za magazeti, na baadae tukawa tumefanya assigm kwa kutumia google.
Ambapo ilikuwa ni, journalistc reseach via Internete assignment ilikuwa ni mji mkuu wa Burkinafaso ambao imeonekana kuwa ni Ouagadougou, mji mkuu wa Honduras ambao ni Gasiglaipa na tukasearch population of Finland, Ruvuma. Pia kuona ni nani rais wa Namibia, rais wa Bolivia na kuona more about the background of the Bolivia.
Haya yote ni kutumia mtandao wa internet kwa google bila internet haiwezekani.
