The week began with designing a logo for the project, which was given the name ‘Jukwaa la Vipaji’ (House of Talent). Then the young people given dance, music and drama workshops. The different elements were brought together to form one performance about their lives: about their home situation, life on the street, drug abuse, HIV aids and more. Displaying a great deal of energy, enthusiasm and talent, they shared their story with the community on June 27. They showed what their lives are like and what parents, the community and the government can do to tackle this problem.

Two of the boys filmed the entire week. Once the editing is completed, the film will be shown on this site. Ten of the youths left a week after the performance for Bagamoyo where they will demonstrate their skills and tell their tale at a big art festival.
