UNICEF: Drumming and Storytelling for Healing in Honduras and Ecuador – 2016
- The idea in Honduras was to provide artistic expressions for those suffering as a result of murders, drug and family violence, and immigration trauma. In Ecuador, we worked with those who were recovering from a recent earthquake.
- Activities included drumming, drum circles, singing, dancing, storytelling, and dramatic presentations.
