Buffalo University out of New York State, USA came to Urukundo
Drew Kahn - Professor, Theater and Director, Anne Frank Project
SUNY Buffalo State
Professor Drew Kahn, the Head of the Drama Studies program and 6 of his young students spent about 3 hours at Urukundo. What a wonderful 3 hours that was.
The impact they had on our teachers was evident. The teachers saw, heard and learned the value of drama in teaching children.
Their purpose:
Teaching storytelling skills to Rwandan teachers
The theme for this presentation was survival, caring and sharing based on the Diary of Anne Frank.
Who knew the equation 2 + 2 = 4 could be so much fun when acted out.
Yes even Math can be fun if a little imagination is added to the mix.
Our new House of the Arts was the perfect setting for this project. Design and decorations were done by two of our girls, Anitha and Belise. Great job girls!
Teachers focus on the story.
After the teaching session the visitors joined the children in the Boys' Home.
