What happens when you put more than 80 children in the same room as nearly 100 African drums? Bedlam? Surprisingly, the result is an amazing sense of unity.
On the first day of Fun Factory, Maida Vale Baptist Church’s annual holiday club, we put it to the test. Akwaaba, the local African drumming team came along and gave us half an hour’s incredible drumming. Instead of bedlam the children quickly got the beat and played along together.
The theme for Fun Factory this year is Around the World, so tomorrow we’re off to Japan. Looking forward to another great day.
