Who?
 |
Moïse and Ananaya practising their capoeira moves. |
Moïse and Ananaya and up to ten other little
capoeira beginners.
Why?
To do a test run. To try out some possibilities in the hope of putting in place a more sustainable programme to support these little guys' education.
Moïse and Ananaya are very talented 5 year old capoeirista. They only speak Lingala and their families lack the means to feed them properly all the time and will certainly not be able to get them in to school where they could learn French. The lack of education in general and of French, in particular, will have a very negative impact on their hopes forever.
There are numerous youngsters that live int eh streets of Kinshasa without any possibility of an honest living.
The level of poverty of the families in question here puts these little ones in great danger of joining this street life before too long.
On the other hand, the fact of having already had the experience of the discipline of learning capoeira and of success after working hard, gives then am advantage and can serve as the basis for them to learn other important lessons towards literacy, numeracy, teamwork, health and hygiene etc.
When?
At least three times a week from 8 o'clock to 11 o'clock after capoeira training. In total, at least 12 sessions during the month of July.
It will start on Friday, 1st July and end on Wednesday 27th July with the presentation of certificates.
Where?
The sessions will take place at Limeté, septième rue, in Madame Nadine's courtyard.
