Norwegian embassy about to deny VISA for Ugandan TEDPrize winner to come to Stockholm? Ugandan artist and TEDPrize winner Ruganzu Bruno from Kampala was invited 1 month back to come to Stockholm to collaborate with us on the Kids Hack Day Stockholm team. Our founder Carl Bärstad met up with Ruganzu at TEDActive in California together with this years TEDPrize winner Sugata Mitra. So the U.S. has given Ruganzu a VISA but not Norway? Amongst many of the exciting activities planned Ruganzu was to paint our lab, tell his story and interact with the kids we work with here. To inspire them to view the waste around them as a resource. Ruganzu himself is spearheading Kids Hack Day Kampala through his project Eco Art Uganda, turning waste into art and playgrounds for kids. We are confused. How can a man that wants to spread so much joy in the world be denied a VISA from Norway but not from the U.S.?

It is deeply disturbing that a few people at the Norweigan embassy, handling the Swedish VISA applications, are making such arbitrary decisions about peoples lives and destinies. This is the second time Ruganzu is facing this destiny. Last year he was also invited to the annual TEDGlobal conference on a scholarship from the Gates Foundation, but was unable to go due to the exact same people at the Norwegian embassy.

This ignorance has to stop! NOW!

Ruganzu is an artist, not a political prisoner. If you find this story as upsetting as we, help set him free by sharing this on facebook and twitter today. Ruganzu will be at the embassy tomorrow at 9 am GMT+3 for a last chance to get his VISA before his flight takes off in the afternoon. If you want the full story on this collaboration between Kids Hack Day Kampala and Kids Hack Day Stockholm it is available on the TED Blog here.
