Dear Friends and Family,
I would LOVE if you would support me in going on a study abroad to Rwanda this summer!
my fundraising campaign can be found at:
http://www.indiegogo.com/kkadish
I am a Masters
Student at the City University of New York.
I LOVE theatre!
I have the AMAZING opportunity to go to Rwanda this summer!
I am studying Applied Theatre.
WHY RWANDA:
In 1994 there was a Genocide in Rwanda over the course of
approximatly 100 days there was a mass murder of an estimated 800,000 people.
Project Rwanda:
Drama and Theatre Education for Reconciliation and
Development
http://www.sps.cuny.edu/rwanda/index.html
"Theatre is the most powerful language, the most
creative, simply because it is the summing up of all languages: theatre is
words, movement, colors, music, realities and dreams, emotions and ideas…As
children, we have learned how to live…by playing theatre. We have learned to
understand the world…by playing theatre. By playing theatre, we also learn that
the world can be much better than it is: in the present, we can think about the
past, and invent the future." - Augusto Boal
THIS is why I want to work in the field of Applied Theater!
THIS is why I want to go to Rwanda!
I NEED:
Any support
that you and your friends and family are willing to give.
This Project will cost me over 5,000 dollars.
(SHEESH going to Africa is Expensive... but will be SO WORTH
IT!)
As I have been in Grad School as a full time student I have
been working full time as well as side jobs to support myself and save up for
this project.
Your donation will help me with:
-Airfare
-Travel Shots and Medicine
-Lodging and Food
The Impact:
This program is not only important to me and my education
but to the students in Rwanda. I have started to be in contact with the
students who we will be working with in Rwanda! Here are a few things that they
have to say…
“We are hungry to see you once again!”
“Welcome our beloved teachers and other students!”
“Trees, birds and KIE are singing welcome welcome for CUNY!
Amahoro!!”
““There is no place, no country, more compassionate more
generous more accepting and more welcoming than Rwanda especially in KIE. So
friends from CUNY you are welcome!”
