Thanks Sab.
People look at me weird when i tell them what we were doing there cos it's not the usual type of thing expected. We were doing theatre work, but using the techniques of Theatre of the Oppressed.
It's therapy based theatre that helps people to identify problems with in their communities and present solutions.
We worked with village leaders, the amount of stuff they learned from the course was amazing. They took a good look at their system and found loads of ways to change it for the better. We also worked with a group of women who had suffered physical & sexual abuse, looking at uplifting their role in society.
I ran some music workshops and recorded a tune with some of the youth, we set up a scheme to sponser children through school, we are currently raising funds to build a primary school next to the hostel, to equip the hostel with vitals such as generators and solar panels for light and electricity, and we have just bought sewing machines for the womens group so they can start working for themselves. Trying to get a trailer donated so we can ship some essentials over there.
Where in Africa did your brother go?

Would you be good enough to participate in this morning's edification?
