Inspired by
the efforts and support of a young Motswana boy, Tshimo, Queer Shorts Showcase
Festival organizer, Kat Kai Kol-Kes, has launched the "Bokamoso
Bracelets" campaign. The 50 bracelet limited edition debut collection will
be made to support LGBTI Visibility and Youth in Botswana. “This collaboration
is a symbol of how educating our youth helps them free themselves” says
Kol-Kes, “Tshimo is already a great LGBTI ally at the age of 9, and he will be
making each bracelet. We’re excited to support his business.”</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The official
branding "Bokamo50" is inspired by Botswana’s upcoming 50<sup>th</sup>
Independence, with the name being inspired by the 2015 IDAHOT theme focusing on
LGBT Youth. “Bokamoso, which means <i>Future</i>
in Setswana, is hoped to inspire our allies to wear their support and hope,
quite literally, on a sleeve<span lang="EN-US">”
says Kol-Kes</span>. The bracelets will each go for P35 ($3.53) each and will
be on sale starting 8 May 2015. PRE-ORDER via qssfestival@gmail.com</div>
