Help send Kristy to Rwanda

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!”
