Borneo's forests and culture is fast disappearing.One way to raise awareness is through Cultural expression and Dance and communicating to people the Importance of developing this art form.
Siti the leader of the dance Studio is a very talented dancer and teacher and needs support to take her studio from its humble beginnings to the next level. They do not have any musical equipment so the children mostly aged between 6 and 12 have to dance to a CD.When they perform they have to hire a traditional musical Instrument if they can afford it.
Siti started her Studio by saving for many months to raise the $ 500 required to pay for the rent on the Studio for the next 12 months.
The objective is to buy the musical Instrument they need, then Dance Uniforms, and other Dayak accessories to demonstrate and express their culture. Please read the story about Siti recently published in a Jakarta Magazine Siti the Dayak Dancer.
