Kliptown performance energizes Tenacre students

Kliptown Youth Program (KYP) visited Tenacre and entranced our students with their story and dancing. KYP was founded in 2007 to address issues stemming from poverty in the town of Kliptown, located in Soweto township outside of Johannesburg. KYP offers educational support and after-school activities for local children. KYP's programs support students aged 6-20, six days per week, providing school fees, uniforms, two meals daily, after-school tutoring, sports, and performing arts instruction in cultural dances and drumming. KYP has also created a renowned gumboot dance troupe that performs world-wide as well as locally.

 

KYP is currently visiting different organizations in the Boston area and invited anyone interested to its KYP-Boston celebration of Ubuntu on Thursday, Oct. 18, 6-9 p.m. (performances 7-8:30 p.m.) at City Year Boston. Please RSVP and let them know if you will attend. The event is at the Lavine Civic Forum, City Year Boston HQ, 287 Columbus Ave., Boston.
