Check out this AWESOME VIDEO that my girls (and select host family members) made this weekend. A film student in Pretoria volunteered to come out to my site and help teach the girls about film making. Among many other things, the girls actually filmed most of the shots and chose which order they would appear in during the film. The music is from a local choir, and the poem that is read was written and recited by one of the girls. Most of the dancing is either traditional Zulu/Ndebele or the girls' interpretation of Coito style House Music (i.e. techno).
It was so much fun to be able to do this with them and see their excitement as they learned about, participated in, and produced the project. Other than the camera it was 100% the handiwork of those living in my community and I can't wait to see what else they are capable of.
The name of the Girls Club (after much debate) is Stars of Tomorrow. Cheesy? Maybe. But its true! They really are.
