Irish Students launched a drama group consisting of High School Children in Kayamandi as part of their practical assignment in 2008. The aim of the group is to provide a common goal for the children to strive towards, instilling a sense of discipline and achievement and also to improve their language and communication abilities. Prochorus will continue with this group and will make use of local and international volunteers for facilitation.
For many of the children this is the first time that they learn to commit to a group and to become part of something greater than themselves. It is also a prime opportunity for students and volunteers to become life coaches to the children.
In 2009 the group won second place at the Buya festival and both the best actor and best actress awards went to our group members.
In 2010 the group came first and was rewarded a trip to attend an Art Festival in George.
