The activities carried out by the children are a basic pillar at the Anidan home. Thanks to them, they are able to get away from their problems and develop unique creative abilities that help them discover new skills.
ART WORKSHOP
Great native and international artists collaborate, always surprised by the level and results of the children’s final works. They have won numerous Mask awards (even as the best art school among the participating African countries), and have been exhibited in places of importance of the Turner Museum and the Saatchi Gallery in London. The workshop is funded by the African Trust, thanks to the important work of the program director, Corrie Wingate. You can follow all our latest news on instagram.com/kidscreatekenya
SPORTS
Since 2014, the Socio-Sporting School of the Fundación del Real Madrid at Anidan offers help at a sporting and emotional level to the children to achieve their goals and help us in their formation of values, both in football and basketball. In addition, the RMF coaches involved are in direct contact with the Lamu coaches in order to follow their continued training and progress day by day.
MUSIC WORKSHOPS
The love of music is growing among our children. To the band, already veteran, founded by Bloko del Valle years ago, and with which so many successes have been achieved in addition to undeniable popularity, joins the music classroom, with instruments donated by friends and classes taught by volunteer teachers. Always counting on the interest first and then the passion of so many children for music.
OTHER WORKSHOPS
We must also highlight other workshops that are being done in parallel: gardening, computer, sewing, theater and dance, plus the support classes and tutorials that are the cornerstone of their success. Finally, it is important to remember the traditional activities that we promote such as swimming, fishing, sailing, traditional dances, storytelling, or the care and use of the donkey, a very prominent animal in Lamu.
