One Fine Day runs weekly art workshops with kids living in slums in Nairobi, Kenya. The kids can learn music, contermporary dance, ballet, fine art, acrobatics and creative writing. I had the opportunity to go to Nairobi and do a song-writing workshop with the music classes, and it was a really special experience. As well as bringing international artists to Nairobi to do one time workshops with the kids, One Fine Day also hires Kenyan teachers who run the weekly workshops, and that means that the kids have consistent and sustainable input from teachers they grow to trust. This is an element of the project that I think is extremely important, and makes One Fine Day a really worthy project to support.

Hope calls for action; action is impossible without hope.» – Rebecca Solnit
