Dance Up From The Street is a documentary showing MindLeaps’ inspiring work to obtain access to education for some of Africa’s poorest children – those living on the streets in Rwanda without any food, clothing, medical care or schooling – through dance, IT training, and school sponsorship to help them transition and integrate into local communities. The documentary is directed by an award winning director from South Africa, Peter Goldsmid. For additional information on the organization, please see http://rebeccadavisdance.com/
At the reception, Rebecca will speak about helping street youth transition to academic classrooms in post-war and developing countries. In addition, she is excited to discuss how her Fulbright experiences played a key role in her social entrepreneurship path around the world, and how to take the leap from passion to action.
We will also have wine and hors d’oeuvres at the reception. Space is limited so please purchase your tickets soon if interested.
This event is sponsored by the Chicago Chapter of the Fulbright Association.
