- LEN’S NEWS

Recently, there was much excitement when Lukhanji Sunset Rotary inducted Yamkele Poni from Komani as a club member.

Speaking about his career and passions in life, Poni said he had started doing photograph­y in 2016.

It was a passion he had started pursuing at the age of 11.

Poni said he learnt his skill through watching YouTube tutorials, and shooting at derby games and school events while a pupil.

This led to him winning a couple of awards at school for photograph­y, including the picture of the year in the junior category.

Poni now does videograph­y and filmmaking in and around Komani, to make a living

It is a passion he says he will pursue for as long as he lives.

Lukhanji Sunset Rotary Club is nowadays a hybrid club. This means that it alternates between face-to-face and virtual meetings, depending on where the members are.

Recently the president, Sheila Senkubuge, was in Uganda on business. While in Kampala she met with a number of Rotary clubs and the district governor.

The local club is working to get members from those clubs to join in with the virtual meetings.
