Earthdance September 2009

Last month, September 2009 Masai Camp, Arusha, hosted its 6th Earthdance Event.

Over 600 people attended and danced the night away at this popular annual fundraiser which ended in a global synchronized prayer for peace. ACT once again benefitted from the profits and a total of $1,400 USD was raised which will go to the ex street boys of Arusha Secondary School Programme.

Many thanks go to the organizers at Masai Camp and to the companies and individuals who supported the event with their services. (See Newsletter # 10 for details)

In August the building of a new classroom started at Olmuringiringa Primary thanks to the donations from John Collard and friends from East Kilbride, Scotland, £3,000 GBP and the clients of Tourcan Vacations, Canada, $1,000 USD. The clients, who came to climb Kilimanjaro, visited the school and also gave money for 10 desks.

Another Canadian visitor, Gail Cope, organized her friends and family to buy another 12 desks. The classroom was completed in October.

At a graduation ceremony at the school the parents and local officials thanked ACT and the donors for their great efforts.

ACT plans to build two teachers houses for the school.

Earthdance, the annual global dance and music festival for peace and humanitarian causes takes place in September in many countries all over the world.

Masai Camp, in Arusha, hosted its 5th annual Earthdance on September 13th. ACT benefited from last year's event and used the money to finance its community centre and kindergarten in the Maasai village of Olmuringiringa.

This year the money received from the event will go into the building fund for classrooms and teachers' houses.

ACT especially thanks Ian Robertson and Karl Hoffman of Tanelec Ltd for their generous donation of $3,000 USD to fund the event. The organizers also thank the many companies and individuals who gave their valuable support and services. (See Newsletter #9 Oct 2008)
