In April 2009, Ojumbo held a photo exhibition with the theme Silent Voices with colorful Hearts to showcase the day-to-day life of his son, Harrison, who is deaf. He also wanted to raise funds to help construct a Vocational Center at Uganda’s School for the Deaf (USD) in Ntinda, a Kampala suburb to enable his son and other deaf children acquire skills that could help them in future. Today, deaf children in Uganda cannot pursue studies beyond standard seven, and Ojumbo hopes to change that. The country has only one school for the deaf, but it lacks adequate facilities to meet the needs of these children.
