Thapelo is 27. Bokamosa helped him with his education. Now he volunteers for the group as a drama director.
Thapelo works with young people like Lovely, who said she used to be very shy.
“Here I am now. I can be able to stand in front of many, many people and present myself.”
Roy Barber goes to Winterveldt in the summer to help Lovely and other participants create plays and develop songs. The rest of the year he teaches music and other classes at St. Andrew’s, back in Maryland.
He says making music and telling stories helps young people look at their lives and make choices -- or, put another way, to find their voices.
