Testimonials

 

The Drum Call program gave a great example of how two distinct art forms, dance and drumming, can collaborate.  The workshop showed how these art forms could develop and enhance our overall social, cultural communication and exchange of creative ideas.  The participants expressed excitement and commented on the experience as instructive and enjoyable.

The Drum Call is extremely popular and demand for the program has grown among our residents from one community center to another.  This program reaches both children and adults and conveys sense of heritage.  We look forward to a continued relationship of many enrichment experiences for the children and adults at our various sites.

I would like to thank you for bringing your Drum Call program to Camp AmeriKids 1999.  We are still hearing unprecedented praise for your program from our campers, volunteers, and staff.  Your energy and dedication helped to make the fifth year anniversary of Camp AmeriKids our most successful summer ever…The joy and sense of true accomplishment on the faces of the children while they played upon your hand crafted drums is a sight that will remain emblazoned on my mind.  I am very proud to include you in the Camp AmeriKids family, and I look forward to working with you in the future!
