    Standing in the Gap, The story of slum Sanaa
    (Tangaza University College, 2011) Mbure, Njeri
    My production's main subject is Slum Sanaa, a Community Based Organization established to promote art-based activities in the slums. The Community center uses the mediums of music, dance, drama and visual arts to convey information to the community, with membership open to everyone regardless of tribe, religion, race or affiliations. My co-subject is Jibu, a group under Slum Sanaa, with members aged 8-12 years who come to the centre thrice a week to practice their songs. They have done two singles, `Jikaze' and `Madawa ya kulevya' through the guidance of their teacher Billy Cole Midenyo. 'Standing in the Gap', as a title for me is because I feel that through the mentorship of Slum Sanaa the youths have someone to stand in the gap and make it easier for them to be able to discover and nurture their artistic talents something that is peculiar to the music industry where artists go through difficulties to produce or even get recognized

    Standing in the Gap, The story of slum Sanaa
    (Institute of Social Communication, 2011) Mbure, Njeri
    Slum dwellers should learn to be innovative and come up with ways in which they can help themselves, it is about sacrifice, dedication, discipline and decisions that are conscious and aimed at bettering their lives rather than always depending on handouts and the government.
