NABU Celebrates World Read Aloud Day at Maisha Yangu Community Center

NABU: NABU Celebrates World Read Aloud Day at Maisha Yangu Community Center

This week, we celebrated The World Read Aloud Day by visiting Maisha Yangu, a community based organization working with children and youth in Nairobi's informal settlements through art and education projects.

Together, we read Dance of Courage , the story of Sam, a young boy in Kenya with a passion for dance and unwavering determination. Together with his friend Kaweria, he sets out to compete in a local dance contest. But obstacles stand in their way. Will they overcome these challenges and shine on the biggest stage?

Reading together, we discovered a journey of bravery, friendship, and following your dreams no matter what.
