2009-06-04T10:27:00.005+02:00

A young and vibrant group telling the story of Rwanda in traditional Music and Dance.

Rwanda has overcome incredible challenges to be where it is today. Now 24 children are traveling the world telling this story.The Rwandan Children’s choir is made up 24 very talented children ages 9-12 . Most of the children in the choir are orphans. Some come from homes devastated by HIV/AIDS. The choir presentations are a great source of healing and encouragement for the children. The children perform in churches, schools, and other public places raising awareness about the issues that Rwanda has faced and how it is working towards bringing unity, healing, and prosperity after the 1994 genocide that claimed more than one million people.

Join this group at Facebook and also join Africa Mission Alliance at Facebook

Kate Church puppetry

2009-01-24T08:52:00.005+01:00

Lovely work inspired by Cirque du Soleil

An artist of delicacy and detail Kate's work mirrors the varied experiences of life in her offbeat quirky method of recognition. Details embroidered with movement and grace, her figures speak of curiosity, delight, tenderness and humor... expressions of some of the exquisitely charming characteristics of life. The pieces she builds somehow defy conventional interpretation. They are not dolls, nor are they formal sculptures. Kate refers to her work as "sculptural puppetry", combining the line and form of sculpture with the playful anima of puppetry.

Kate also has a blog worth visiting

This explains everything, it all makes perfect sense now!
And indeed, she really is an artist pur sang. Go visit her blog and read her version of the amazing Grimm storys. You won.t regret it.
