The Mwelu Foundation

Julius Mwelu selected for Twenty Ten All Stars team

June 7th, 2009

Julius Mwelu has been selected as one of 108 African photographers and journalists to report on African stories leading up to the World Cup in South Africa in July 2010.

The Twenty Ten project aims to give African journalists a voice, both on the African continent, as well as worldwide. It offers African citizens the opportunity to experience their own view of African reality, as opposed to depending on foreign news organisations. It aims to encourage media professionals to creatively produce and distribute articles, images, broadcasts and multimedia productions related to African football.

Julius will receive training in reporting and will undertake a number of photo-journalism projects relating to the 2010 World Cup and African football.

At the end of 2009 the 18 most talented participants will be selected to become members of the Dream Team. Members of the Dream Team will be invited to travel to South Africa to cover the World Cup in June/July 2010.
