Singing and dancing are an integral part of the Kenyan culture and accompanies every festive gathering. The girls at St. Clare continue this tradition whenever there is a gathering to greet visitors, or as entertainment for each other.
This YouTube video below captures such a moment. Without TV, Ipods, Blackberries, cell phones or even a radio, these girls have the time (and the natural talent) to create new songs and dances for every new occassion. As you can see the performance on the video is in the great outdoor stage under the mango tree. Just click on the link below to be taken to the ‘performance.’ Enjoy!

ABOUT
In Meru, Kenya, thousands of orphans and abandoned children live in unspeakable conditions on the streets, the victims of gross poverty and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. THE FRIENDS OF KENYAN ORPHANS is a nonprofit organization formed to assist The Children’s Village in improving the lives of these children.
The Children’s Village is the inspiration of Fr. Francis Limo Riwa who in 1999 began to rescue orphaned and abandoned street children. Today the Children’s Village is home, family and school to more than 750 children, living on two campuses: the St. Clare Girls’ Centre and St. Francis Boys’ Home.
FRIENDS OF KENYAN ORPHANS is committed to rescuing, housing, feeding and educating these abandoned orphans. Learn how you can support this effort.
I enjoyed listening to you a lot.
