I took this photo in October of 2010, in Dubreka, Guinea, at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, a school recently founded by UNICEF to teach both academic subjects & traditional music, dance & culture to primary school aged children. PC Guinea's training site is in Dubreka & while our small group of Peace Corps Response Volunteers waited there for Embassy Conakry to release us to our sites, following violent election protests, we visited the school. This young group progressed dramatically from their humble beginnings. Within 6 months they performed at PC Guinea's 50th Anniversary celebration in Conakry & continue to perform for PC Guinea events.
