Last week at Kibo the groups got creative with their thoughts about Jumuiya (East African Communities)
Each of the groups moulded and decorated their pots with their ideas and then spoke individually about their features. We were very sorry to see that our clay making has yet to be refined, and sadly these wont be suitable for firing. Zulpha has informed us that her family village knows the secret to African Pottery, so perhaps they can help us next time!
Here’s a sample of their key community creations!
- Two faces – to show the importance of working together
- A mobile phone – because lets face it, we’d be lost without them!
- Trees – for shade and environmental protection
- Transport – Cars, Dala Dala, Busses
- UMEME!! (Electricity) The quintessential characteristic of the city!
Kibo school will be building on these ideas for the forthcoming Making Art, Making Me exhbition in May. The invitations and press release are being written this week and all of us here at MME and Childreach International are extremely excited about showcasing this projects achievements to our Guest of Honour, the Kilimanjaro Regional Education Officer of Tanzania.
