Improving every weekend

As we sent our children to a reading and storytelling holiday program of the Goethe Institute which is located nearby our workshop, we can now luckily report that they were so amazed by the “stage performance” the kids delivered at the end of the 2 weeks, that they decided to be our partners (not yet officially confirmed) and continue the reading and storytelling program also during school times. That is why our kids will go from now on to the Goethe Institue to be supervised and trained every Saturday from 9 – 12 am.

The weekend program was also quite successful because we could offer new program points to the participants of IriCreArt (The Color of Development creates Art). For the first time a Salsa teacher supported us, showing the kids the first basic steps. The Latin American music was quite relaxing and a good contrast to the fast and hectic movements of Modern Dance.

Additionally a break dance teacher came for the first time. He taught the kids the first basics, made an animating warm-up with the kids and won their admiration.

Both new teacher could convince with their pedagogic skills and the additional program points the offered. That is why we would like to keep them as our teachers. We are still in negotiations with them, how often they can come and so on...

I can also report that we are proceeding in the progress of getting registered as a local NGO.

Thanks a lot to Charlotte who is unfortunately leaving us soon, but was able to help us to compose the Statute, the Application Letter for the RGB (Rwanda Governance Board) and the Letter of Collaboration for the district. Good work!
