Nialla Fayers-Kerr, or Bailarina as she is better known in the Capoeira world has recently moved out to Hamburg to work with the Keiskamma Trust in the area of Heritage (not sure of her exact job title).
Excitingly for the Abolicao Trust, she's now on site to help and teach Abolciao Hamburg. Here's her latest update on how things are for the project in Hamburg:
"Things here with Abolicao Hamburg capoeira are going really well. The capoeira classes are happening every day, and there are always lots of people in every class. It would be nice to seperate the small kids from the others, and to start up an adult beginners class, but I haven't the energy as yet! (The hot weather is helping my knee though - which is good.)"
She mentions that the group raised some money rencently by performing at a cultural event in a nearby town, and is coming up with creative ways that the skills of the group there can help to raise more funds. She is hoping to take a couple of the group with her on a trip to a batizado in Cape Town, and there is a possibility of taking 2 of the more experienced capoeiristas to Salvador, Brazil to visit the sister project there this summer.
It's exciting to hear all that's happening, and we hope Baila will be keeping us up to date as often as possible!
