Gina Bishop, a Dance Instructor from LA does! She’s off to South Africa to volunteer in a Street Kids centre. Whilst she’s volunteering there she’s also going to provide some fun and excitement for the kids in the form of contemporary dance classes!

Gina originally wrote to us expressing how she would like to assist with the children in Knysna “My dream is to Inspire, Enrich, Educate and Spread love through the ARTS. It has never been about quantity, it has always been about quality. I have no doubt that the Arts changes LIVES but my mission has always been to affect one LIFE at a time. I am aware that many of these children live in tragic circumstances, which makes the need for a mentor, role model, and teacher even more crucial. My life has never been simply about teaching dance. It has ALWAYS been about empowering kids to love themselves and inspiring them to love each other.

The Arts allows the voiceless children of the world the chance to be heard. I am determined to spread a non -violent approach to self -expression and prompt children to live a life of LOVE. In my adult life I have been an advocate for peaceful awareness and personal growth through self- understanding and development. It is through the encouragement of creative expression that children, who were never properly loved, get a chance to Feel. I am certain that if we start paying better attention to the lives of our youth, the world will reap the benefits in so many profound ways.

We’ve advertised the classes to the local communities and it’s caused quite a stir over in South Africa already and even the local press are eagerly anticipating her arrival!
