Last week we had our last music class of the year at Kawangware Primary School. Here in Kenya, the school year ends much sooner than in other parts of the world in anticipation of the December holidays. Our students have come a long way from our first class in mid-September. In six weeks, they tackled the basics of violin playing and all have learned the Twinkle Variations and performed them to an audience of over 1500!
We are looking forward to meeting with them again in January and are hoping to have more instruments to bring back to them so that we can reach even more children. Currently, we have 24 learning the violin and have split them into three groups of eight to compensate for the working instruments that we have.
Karis Crawford will be in the States this December, and if you have any instruments that you would like to donate or any other means of support, please get in touch with her at info@elsistemakenya.org so that she can bring them back to Nairobi in January 2015.
Thank you all so much for your continued support, and we look forward to the new year!
