Update from DARU

Each month, our artistic administrators Mohamed Kamara and Nathaniel Jones travel to Daru to visit and report on our ongoing arts initiatives in Wards 20 and 21.  During their week-long trips, they observe classes, hold meetings with the high chieftaincy, lower chiefs, local councils and school administrators.  Most importantly, they get to watch an AEI student showcase displaying practical crafts created by our students at daily, year-round classes taught by the incredible, Daru-based Arts Collective Vision Stars!  Enjoy the highlights from this month's trip!
