International school performance

One of my many ‘give back to the community’ projects has paved the way for me to be part of this year’s Harare International School (HIS) International Day celebrations. I launched this program in September at Kadyamadare Primary School, which has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with Harare International School spanning over 20 years. I’m thrilled to be part of this joint initiative, teaching traditional Zimbabwean dances to both schools. I look forward to welcoming students from both schools to my culture center next year as part of their ‘Explore Zimbabwe’ program.

Special thanks to Kadyamadare Headmaster, Mr. Masokovere, for believing in me and connecting me with the Director of Programs at HIS. I eagerly anticipate many more cultural projects in the future. God bless
