One, two, three – Act!

This weekend we were just able to supervise our kids on Saturday because the 19^th commemoration week reminding the Rwandan inhabitants of what happened in 1994 started taking place on Sunday. In the mentioned week it is not allowed to listen to loud music, make sport etc., so we could not maintain the program.

Still we had a very amazing Saturday because we engaged a theatre teacher for the first time. Isaack – the theatre teacher´s name – was really a lucky find. He is an all rounder – knows how to dance traditionally, how to teach acting, how to sing and write songtexts and how to deal with kids. He was directly starting to coach the children of IriCreArt (The Color of Development) in singing the “IriCreArt song”, which worked out quite well in the end. Then he taught traditional dance and in the end he played theatre with the participants of our program.

Furthermore, we were supported by two voluntary working Belgians, Charlotte and Brandon, in Modern and Traditional Dance. With them, the children had a lot of fun and were even able to present what they have learned in a very short time in the afternoon.

Moreover, Kibe and me, Marvin, started visiting the families of our kids to find out all important information on the family background. So far, we visited 6 families, but we will continue questioning the parents in this week.

Another improvement is that we have more experienced and professionally working people on board who will to help us in registering our project properly, promoting and marketing it and improve our organization. So the next steps towards finding sponsors, partners or members will be done soon.
