Parents’ Choice Award winner Robbi K's spirit is contagious as the entire audience is soon singing and clapping along with Osebo's Drum.
Enjoy interactive movement, singing, chanting and humor while Robbi sets the scene for this traditional African "Pour Quoi?" folktale about a tiny turtle, Akiki-Y'Kia, who uses clever kindness to succeed.
Robbi moves about the room constantly, appealing to the audience as she acts out the many characters of this clever story. Many animals try to get the drum, but Osebo's sharp claws, teeth, terrible growl and bad attitude scare them all away.
An adventure ensues to everyone's delight. With Cameron Siegal on drums.
World MS Day brings the global MS community together to share stories, raise awareness and campaign with and for everyone affected by multiple sclerosis.
In 2016, the theme for World MS Day is ‘Independence’. It will explore how people with MS can be independent, acknowledging that independence can mean different things to different people.
What is MS?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common neurological disorders and causes of disability in young adults.
There are 2.3 million people with MS worldwide & the cause is not yet known and as yet there is no cure, though there are treatments available that can help some forms of MS and many things you can do to improve the symptoms.
The severity of the course of MS as well as the symptoms can vary widely among individuals. These can include blurred vision, weak limbs, tingling sensations, unsteadiness and fatigue.
MS makes life unpredictable for everyone. As an artist with an unpredictable life it's been.......an interesting addition to my journey. Thanks for taking time to read and learn about what's happening in Robbi's World......xoxoxo
