Our Vision:
We seek to cultivate and illuminate the creative sparkle that is the essence of every child, no matter where they live. We do this by :
* fostering global sister school relationships based on musical sharing
* promoting the resulting collaboration to a worldwide audience
* engaging in education and outreach programs to advance the broader community.
One of our favorite people ever--Kakenya Ntaiya. We visited her school, the Kakenya Center for Excellence, for a week in 2012 during which we sang, danced, and painted hearts with her students. The girls' heart paintings helped raise money to provide heart surgeries for 13 children with congenital heart disease in Nairobi. Kakenya is not only empowering her girls to help themselves, but to help others as well. That, and, as you can see, she has the best laugh/smile ever.

Waiting.
It's the most useful skill one can aquire at Pikpa camp. Residents wait for activities, volunteer visitors, and, of course, for the asylum interviews that will hopefully be the first step toward the first day of the rest of their lives.
Mohammed, just 17 and from Syria, is here alone and wants to become a computer engineer. Earlier this week he was granted asylum in Holland but the journey to a new country is not always a direct one. We've received an update that he became indefinitely stuck in Athens.
Waiting once more.
