Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi my name is Dollie Henry and I am a Choreographer, Dance Teacher and Artistic Director of the Jazz Theatre Company Body of People.

As a creative artist and educator I know only too well the amazing benefits and life changing experiences that any creative exposure can make to ones life. Dance has been my life for the last 46 years. So when the opportunity arose to be involved with this very special project, where I could share my passion of dance, give something more of myself and support a charity at the same time, I had to find a way be part of it!  So now let me share with you what this worthy expedition is all about and entails…

In June 2013, I will travel to Africa as a collective of 20 dancers from the UK who will make up the Awareness Through Dance “Team Kili”. As a group we will be travel to Nairobi to participate in collaborative and creative dance workshops, using dance as a tool to share creative, cultural and social awareness and aid the charity Movement for Hope in providing supplies to local hospitals. Movement for Hope uses Multimedia Art to raise the awareness and support for neurological conditions.

The group will then continue the mission and climb to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, in aid of Gving Africa. All money raised and donated will go to providing sustainable education through building schools in West Africa. The financial support we all raise will aid the build of a school in Gourcy, Burkina Faso.

It’s a chance to bring humanity closer together through the awareness of giving, receiving and sharing through Dance. The experience in itself is going to have an enlightening impact on everyone involved. I’m looking forward to contributing and doing my part to make a small, but meaningful difference. 

So now the next thing is to ask you, friends and colleagues, for your support by digging as deep as you can and donate what you can…No amount is too small or too big and will be graciously received. Every penny you donate will assist the journey and the charity. 

I Thank you from the bottom up!

Love & Light
