A brand new theater program for youth called Burning Barriers, Building Bridges is partnering with Rosanna Schaak's THINK, for an interesting and exciting new venture.
According to their blog,
Burning Barriers, Building Bridges is a Theater Program that has been a year and a half in the making, and it is finally happening! Follow us this summer in Monrovia, Liberia as youth make change in their community while improving their literacy and math skills through the arts. Twenty Liberian youth have been identified as participants by Touching Humanity in Need of Kindness (THINK), Inc. Founded by Rosana Schaack, THINK exists to demonstrate God's love to the disenfranchised members of society, especially women and children by empowering them to transform their lives and communities. THINK implements educational programs for disadvantaged children and youth and also advocates for the rights of women and children and provides rehabilitation, shelter, medical care and counseling for victims and survivors of sexual and domestic violence.
Here is an invitation for those who are in the Monrovia area next Tuesday. You can view Their first play is coming up, and you are invited, if you are in the Monrovia area next week. You can view a copy of the invitation PlayflyerAug10.pdf .
Rosanna Schaak has sent out this letter of invitation.
Dear All,
We take this time to invite you to the Play "Problems to Solve" being put on at the Monrovia City Hall next Tuesday. Ms. Jasmine Blanks has been here in Liberia since June 24, 2010, working with these children that THINK has an outreach Ministry with.
We are quite busy as the President may attend the event so we want it to be the best. This has been a good process for all of us and the children have learned a lot.
