KENYA IN THE PARK 2015.
Kenya in the park is a new project which has been set up by Malaika Dance Unique, Massai World Market and supported by Kenyans in the United Kingdom; the project will involve having an annual event with an aim of taking it to different countries. We draw a lot of inspiration from our National Anthem. We are encouraged to live in peace, love and unity, which is the very basic intention of Kenya in the Park. We explore the “Plenty” (National Anthem) our country can and has to offer without prejudice. Kenyans are resilient people. Despite the challenges thrown their way, they always find away to move on.
Unity is strength and Kenya in the park offers an opportunity for all Kenyans to be together again, network and foster the feeling of belonging, and that includes all Kenyans as Kenya is a diverse country. We have seen a lot of one sided Kenya for a long time in the Diaspora but it’s time for us Kenyans to embrace all Kenyan ethnicity, culture and background, not forgetting Kenyan Somalia’s, Kenyan Indians and People from the North just to mention a few. After which according to the success of this event we are looking of doing AFRICA IN THE PARK, to which we have received a lot of enquire.
