Soulfari Arts
30 young women from Carolina for Kibera’s Binti Pamoja program were matched with 30 emerging young women artists from the Missouri Fine Arts Academy. Binti Pamoja translates to “Daughters United” in Kiswahili, and provides a forum for young Kenyan women to discuss issues that concern them.
See their vision at http://cfk.unc.edu/binti-pamoja.php. The Missouri Fine Arts Academy provides a unique program of artistic, extracurricular, and social opportunities to Missouri’s talented high school students. See their vision at http://mfaa.missouristate.edu/.

Trip Alumnus Amy Frazer created and printed this amazing workbook. With the help of orphanage administrators, Josie interviewed over 70 children one at a time as they filled out their workbooks. In addition, Amy also created and assembled 100 Butterfly Packets, hand-sewn bags filled with school supplies for each child at Villa Teag.
Orphans at Villa Teag in Dandora, Kenya traced their hands with a sharpie. The hands were then cut out and traced onto a mural for the orphanage. Instead of discarded, the tracings made their way to safari, a luxury few Kenyans get to experience. The hands then traveled to the coast of Kenya, the Midwest of the US, Ground Zero in NYC, and the west coast of the US.

Since the first SFK trip, there have been extremely gifted created Travelers sharing their talents with Kenyans. Upon their return to the US, they continue to be inspired by their short but deep time in Kenya. They write, draw, paint, design, and lead fantastic projects that benefit their local communities. The following is just a small sampling of what our Travelers are sharing.
