<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">A new and exciting initiative kicked off
this month within the Art programme. Mercedes Benz SA, recognising the
expertise of the Hamburg artists and the importance of skills training for
unemployed youth, are funding a 1-year pilot programme for up to 40 new
students. At the beginning of March we launched the new bridging programme,
aptly named 'Isango' (the gate) with a taster day to explain to interested
young local people what the course of study would include. All students will
begin withdrawing classes to be followed by foundation classes in various
artistic disciplines- ceramics, textiles and embroidery, print-making and
......... All work and research will be based around themes; the first three
months is focusing on South African Birds, to be followed by Environment and
then People & Culture. There will also be English and Maths support, but
lessons are to be very practical and closely linked with the current theme.
Business and Life Skills complete the initial programme. There are also plans
for further diversification for committed students, giving them opportunities
to try out hospitality, driving and other options.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">We have made a good start on this ambitious
programme. Students are now signed up and have each received a bag of basic
stationery and art materials. Some students are embroidering their bags to
create their own personal statement. All their work is being recorded in a
journal. For most of these young people this is their first exposure to a
vibrant creative education. So they bring a fresh and infectious
enthusiasm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">No doubt there will be challenges up ahead.
For some of our senior artists this is their first experience of being
'tutors'. We shall also struggle to have the staff to deliver a pilot programme
that is as consistent and robust as we would wish. We hope that during the year
some international volunteer teachers will visit and offer their skills to
complement the basic schedule. We hope that our new students will have the
courage and commitment to stick with this new venture. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Meanwhile, one of our students, Aviwe had
this to say about her experiences so far:</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">You choose a suitable work surface than can
tolerate water and place and old towel and spread the wool on it.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">It was quite exciting to work with felt,
because have learnt a lot. I did not know that I can make something creative
and nice on wool without using a needle o sewing machine.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">This workshop opened my mind to such an
extent that it drawn my attention to Art. I never know Art is broad and wild I
was looking it at one dimension but<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>now
I learnt<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>something new because this
workshop teach me how to make something out of nothing.</span></div>

Music Academy was delighted to be taking part in the 1st South
African Galway Flute Festival hosted by the doyen of British flute
playing, Sir James Galway and his lovely wife Lady Jeanne Galway in
Cape Town between 17 - 21 February 2015. Keiskamma Music
Academy's top performers from 2014's music examinations Sambesiwe
Mavela and Wonke Mapuma were accompanied by KMA's Head Anthony Drake
and Katharina Appel, one of our hard-working volunteers from Germany
(who is also a flautist). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The week
was exceptionally busy with workshops and master classes beginning at
9 am and sometimes finishing at 9 pm. Scrumptious vegetarian
lunches were supplied by the Baxter restaurant. Evenings were
also rounded off with incredible recitals given by Sir James Galway,
Lady Jeanne Galway, pianist Anne Marshall as well as stunning
flautists <span style="color: #221e1f;">Gabriele
von Durckheim, Liesl Stoltz, Bridget Rennie Salonen and Marlene

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #221e1f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Learning
a range of general flute and practice techniques was an extremely
eye-opening experience for Sambesiwe & Wonke for whom this was
their first visit to the Mother City. Many teaching techniques
were also demonstrated which were of great benefit to both Kathie and
Anthony. On one of the days, everyone did have the opportunity
for a quick visit to Cape Town's beautiful Waterfront with
magnificent views of Table Mountain. Sambesiwe, Wonke &
Kathie took part in the final public concert at the Baxter Concert
Hall where around 100 flute players performed together.</span></div>

students were buzzing when they returned to Hamburg! Sambe explained;</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="%3A4"></a><span style="color: #221e1f;">''It
was brilliant. The highlights for me were watching Sir James play and
his morning 'warm-ups' and being taught by Lady Galway. It made me
want to be the next Sir James!! When I came back I practised so much,
even for the first time ever on a Saturday night! I want to thank
both Sir James and Lady Jeannie for making me love and appreciate
music even more and for opening my eyes to just how amazing music can
be...''</span></span></div>

we are all sincerely grateful to the Galways for their generous
sponsorship of Keiskamma Music Academy students to be able to attend
this event and eagerly anticipate the 2nd South African Galway Flute
Fesitval in 2016!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We learned and shared songs about
birds, we found out how birds can be omens and we found out how the
bird feathers can be used in different ways, for instance by the
Masai people of Kenya or by the Sangomas here. We talked about the
relationship between birds and humans, and we compared traditional
stories about birds with some interesting scientific facts. For
instance, did you know that the Kori bustard weighs a magnificent 19
kilos?! Or that the Intsikizi Southern Hornbill can predict the
weather!

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We
are excited to invite applications for an opening in the position of
Music Programme Administrator/Recorder Specialist Teacher. Based in
Hamburg, Eastern Cape, South Africa, the Music Programme
Administrator/Recorder Specialist Teacher will aid the Music
Programme Manager in advancing the music education and development of
students at our Music Academy, a flourishing music outreach programme
and integral part of the The Keiskamma Trust. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
Academy was founded in 2006 by Helen Vosloo, one of South Africa’s
leading classical musicians. In 2013, one hundred and three children
and adolescents are students at the Music Academy and its expansion
project to neighbouring villages. Primary solo tuition is on
recorder; all students learn the basis of classical and indigenous
music through their recorder studies, in addition to theory classes
and ensemble work with indigenous African instruments. Highly
motivated senior students take up an orchestral instrument as well.
Over fifteen students now study a range of orchestral instruments
including cello, clarinet, flute, guitar, oboe, piano, trombone,
trumpet, and violin among others. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
unique sound of the Music Academy Ensemble incorporates recorders,
orchestral instruments, and indigenous instruments including marimba,
uhadi bow, and drums. In 2011, our Ensemble toured to Cape Town and
Stellenbosch where twelve advanced students performed as soloists
with Camerata Tinta Barocca. This was followed by a Christmas tour of
the Garden Route with performances at exclusive resorts and game
parks. In 2012, our Standard Bank Ovation Award-winning production at
the National Arts Festival was followed with a series of performances
for the French Season in South Africa 2012. In 2013, four students
had the opportunity to perform in Hamburg, Germany to celebrate the
exhibition of The Keiskamma Altar work at Christuskirche Wandsbeck.
Following that was a presentation of Keiskamma Carnival in the Arena
Programme of the Grahamstown National Arts Festival. The Keiskamma
Music Academy is currently preparing for their new production,
'Indalo' (Nature), to showcase at The National Arts Festival in
Grahamstown in July 2015.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the afternoon of December 12<sup>th</sup>,
an audience, mostly parents & families plus a few of the early
holiday visitors, gathered outside the new music building in Hamburg
to watch a performance of 'Indalo'. This outdoor production, which
grew out of the 'Carnival of the Animals' (performed in 2013 at
Grahamstown Festival), featured the Music Academy and a new cast of
local young actors.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Despite a gale force wind, actors and
musicians managed to tell their story to a crowd who were wowed by
the music, the magic and the humour. It was a delightful finale to
Keiskamma Trust's activities throughout 2014. The production was
followed the next day with the Intlantsi Creative Development team
organising and hosting the annual Christmas party for all the local
children. Over 350 Hamburg children received gifts from Father
Christmas, and were entertained by the Intlantsi facilitators, who
'clowned' and face-painted for hours!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And so another busy year here draws to
a close. As ever, the challenges will continue in 2015. For a small
NGO in a remote rural location, keeping funding flowing and helping
to nurture a healthy, sustainable community is never plain sailing.
But if you dip back in to these 2014 blog posts, you'll get a sense
of this special place and what is being achieved and celebrated in
this little corner of Eastern Cape.

our donors and friends! So we take this opportunity the thank you ALL
for another year of continued support. All of us here at Keiskamma
Trust – staff, volunteers and students – wish you a peaceful and
enjoyable holiday season and warm wishes for everything you hope for
in 2015. </span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">512 children in Hamburg and the
surrounding area had a lovely pre-Christmas surprise with the
unexpected delivery of a truckload of 'Santa Shoeboxes'. Companies
and organisations in East London and the children of Hudson Park
Primary organised this initiative, and Nokhanyo Nkani, the Trust's
OVC and Aftercare Coordinator, arranged for this special delivery to
our local villages.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each shoebox was stuffed with
toiletries, stationery, clothing and sweets; all age appropriate and
lovingly wrapped in festive paper. For some children, this was
perhaps the first time they had received such a bright and thoughtful
Christmas gift.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There followed a very busy time in
Vulindlela Centre as staff packed and sorted and organised the
deliveries far and wide. Mxolisi Educare Centre, Masivuye Day Care,
Bjorn Centre, Eva Centre and Hamburg After Care all received a
consignment of boxes, each neatly labelled with the name of each
child.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keiskamma Music Academy finished the
year on a high note with a 5-day camp at Ubungani Wilderness Trust,
Boknesstrand, in early December. The Centre is just along the coast
on the way to Port Alfred so it didn't involve too much travelling;
however the change of scene provided an exciting opportunity to
prepare and rehearse for the Christmas production of 'Indalo', as
well as to work and play together as a team.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In addition to the music and drama
students, KMA staff and volunteers, the group were accompanied by
Hanneke van der Merwe and her team who prepared amazing food,
organised team-building activities, and nurtured participants with
care and support. It was no holiday though! There were intense
rehearsals every day after an early breakfast and warm-up, and the
afternoons were spent either on the beach, weather permitting, or
involved in environmental and cooperative exercises. The evenings
gave everyone a chance to relax a bit, with dancing and marshmallows
on sticks as the students' favourites!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everyone felt that the five days went
far too quickly and they would have liked to do it all over again!
Keiskamma Music Academy wish to thank their kind donors for giving
everyone the chance to have this special experience, living and
working together. They also wish to thank Ubungani Wilderness Trust,
and Hanneke van der Merwe & her staff for looking after everybody
so well. And not forgetting Keiskamma Trust drivers for getting the
crew there and back safely!

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The students all agreed, 'It was a
great start to our summer holidays and we'd love to go back again
soon'. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since
1988, December 1<sup>st</sup>
has been designated as World Aids Day. The day is an opportunity for
people across the globe to raise awareness, increase education and
support those living with HIV. Keiskamma Trust always mark this day
in some way, so, on December 1st, almost seventy members of the Art Project
at the Trust and members of the Hamburg community gathered in the
newly completed Umthombo Art Centre to meet representatives from
Mercedes Benz South Africa (MBSA), the main funder of the Art project
over the last three years. The SASSA team (South African Social
Security Agency) were also present at the event.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thembeka Sigabi, the Art Project's contact at MBSA in East London, welcomed all
the guests and explained that the theme of the event was 'Caring for
the Caretakers'. Speeches by social workers and SASSA highlighted the
fact that many people present there spend their lives caring for and
supporting others, and occasionally, they too need recognition and
someone to look out for them.

and soup, and a little luxury too with the addition of some
chocolate!

a spirit of joy, cooperation and kindness. </span></div>
