Dear Friends of Babishai, Lovers
of Poetry, and Leaders in the Arts,
We are looking forward to a
tomorrow that is better than today.
During this time when the world
seems to be spinning under our feet, let’s keep our heads high, and remember
the effectiveness of our togetherness, our creativity and our steed. In these unprecedented
days with Covid-19 stretching its ugly neck in unwanted spaces, the Babishai
team has agreed to postpone our festival, which was scheduled for June, 25-28
in Kibaale, by the crater lake.
We appreciate all who have
reached out to us with care and advice. That means a lot, that even with your
own challenges, you still think of others. The #Babishai2020 Haiku award
deadline passed and the judges shall proceed with their work. The announcement
of the shortlist and winners though, shall be postponed to June, until we
finalize on a new date for the festival.
Please take care of yourselves
and your loved ones. Keep to the prevention measures, until we kick Corona out
of our lives.
Keep writing and reciting too, because
people around you need the warmth that stems from a creative mind, more than
ever.
Regards,
The Babishai Team
