WE ARE THE CHILDREN because WE are the children, because the child we have been is always alive inside us, because if we are able to look after the inner child of the past, it means that we will be able to manage better our emotional side and improve our relationships with adults and their children.
WE ARE THE CHILDREN because working with children means that we can build a better future for sure, teaching them to be welcoming, living in peace and friendship. Let's look at the children around us: they don't make any discrimination about the colour of our skin, the languages we speak, our religions etc. They always find a way to communicate and play together. Often adults instill insecurity upon them, fears and prejudices. So, let's remember about the child we were and try to take care of him and show and share our love. As such: every child has the right to be loved.
The second step of the project of “WE ARE THE CHILDREN” is addressed to the orphanages “Dream Children’s home” directed by Mrs Rachel Gichia and "Tumaini Children's Home", an orphanage for only HIV positive children directed by OSVIC, an association of Oristano. Both the orphanages are in Kenya
The project is very important because Anna Nacci and her team will demonstrate the project in several Italian primary and middle schools in order to teach the children how useful is it to play music in a project of solidarity. Furthermore school teachers will be involved asking the children to donate toys, clothes and medicines.
The project “WE ARE THE CHILDREN” 2015/16 has been enhanced and improved:
-
We are going to collect more donations visiting more schools throughout the province of Brindisi.
-
We are wanting to collect much more donations, such as school stationery and equipment, clothes, medicines, toys.
- We will take a special kind of wheat we cultivate in Puglia (SENATORE CAPPELLI) that, according to our experts, is much stronger and could give a better harvest in the orphanage's countryside. We will teach the children the way to seed, cultivate and harvest the wheat. Those too will be an opportunity to enhance economical autonomy and job possibilities.
-
We will arrange a twinning between Italian and Kenyan musicians in Italy, let them meet the children for new workshops and showing them the new DVD “WE ARE THE CHILDREN – part 2”.
-
We will take part of the donations to the children living in refugee camps, that need everything to survive, waiting for a better future,

WE ARE THE CHILDREN is the humanitarian project that has gone in the refugee camps of IDOMENI e POLYKASTRO.
We took many clothes, toys, and shoes for the thousands of children living there.
Furthermore we made them happy delivering our music workshop.

-- WE ARE THE CHILDREN 2018 --
We have worked in order to collect money, so we organised public and private events.
Our destination would have been Burkina Faso, together with two excellent musicians: GABIN & PAUL DABIRE'. Unfortunately, two days before our departure, a terroristic attack occurred in the capital. So we were obliged to postpone our travel in Burkina.
We already had prepared everything that's why we decided to go back to Kenya. The children and the staff of the DREAM CHILDREN'S HOME orphanage was so happy to see us again!!
Once upon a time there was a washmachine. It was new but it never worked because there was no money to allow it to work. Thanks our donors, we bought all the necessary to make it working. Today the children don't wash their clothes by hand at all!!
There were 94 children, so our team was composed by a doctor and a nurse. They cheked all the children up.
It was necessary to buy food.
It was necessary to do social activities and Makola bought new musical instruments. So the children played and won the Scout competition!
Many things are still necessary and in a few time we're going to pay a professional course for Hannah, so she will become a professional tailor and she'll be able to make uniforms for her brothers and sisters.
This travel gave us the possibility to grew more than the previous one and we learnt so many things. And we're happy because we made happy our children, the Italian and the African ones, as two years ago, thanks to this amazing and long bridge of solidarity.
We feel the need to thank all the people that donate money for this project.
We need YOUR HELP because children need to live their life properly.
Come and visit what we have done: our works and the pictures about our last travel
OUR TEAM IS COMPOSED BY:
ANNA NACCI - Project manager
MARCELLA GENUALDO - Doctor
LISETTA FANIZZI - Nurse
MAKOLA MAMBO - Musicisan
