In
the heart of Nairobi, where abandoned children wander the streets with
no relief from the grim realities of poverty, hope for the future was
dim until renowned Kenyan actress Anne Wanjugu restored the children's
spirit through the healing power of theater. But when an unexpected
event put their resilience to the test, the children were forced to draw
on their own strength; they needed to glean lessons of faith, family, and the spirit without their mentor.
The inspiring story of Anne
Wanjugu and the former street children who reside at her home in Shangilia
Mtoto Wa Africa (Rejoice, Child of Africa) culminates in a triumphant
journey from the makeshift stage of a small Nairobi church to the bright
lights of Broadway.
