A GROUP of orphaned children from Johannesburg in South Africa have made a lasting impression on local primary school
pupils. The 16 orphans aged between 11-14 years old
were invited to the Ribble Valley by the Lancast-; er Foundation, after Mrs Rosemary Lancaster visited the children’s orphanage, Sparrow Rain bow Village, last November. Orphaned after their parents died of AIDS, the
time. Their orphanage’s founder and registered
nurse, the Rev. Corinne McClintock, explained: “I come from a country with 12 million AIDS orphans and unfortunately, most will never know what a holiday is.” Sparrow village cares for 152 babies and chil
dren as well as 80 adults. It also supports and feeds more than 1,000 local and needy people
every week. As part of their visit, the children, under the
guidance of music teacher Michael Sibanda, showed off their rhythmic African talent to the children and staff at five Ribble Valley primary schools. Picking up their instrument, the Marimbas
just sue months ago, the youngsters are already accomplished musicians thanks to Mr Sibanda, who teaches at the most prestigious school in Johannesburg, St Stithian’s College, and took the children to heart helping them develop their tal ent.
Performing during assemblies and holding
workshops at the local schools, the group passed their knowledge and skills on to Ribble Valley youngsters and helped them to find their own rhjd;hm and beat. Waddington and West Bradford Primary
School head teacher Sarah Tulley described the visitors performance in just one word, “Wow”. Pendle Primary School head teacher Margaret
Carrington was just as impressed: “The children played with their very talented teacher Michael whose idea it was to have the Marimba band and for all of them it was the fiist time they had been
on a plane out of their village. They were accom panied by their organiser Karin, who lives in South Africa. Originally, she had felt there was such a need to help the children that she had 32 children’s beds in her small bungalow as tempo rary respite for them until the Lancaster Foun dation provided support.” She added: “Pendle school has exchanged e-
mails with the orphanage and will be correspon ding with them shortly. What a fantastic experi ence for all concerned - and well done the Lan caster Foundation!” Staying at Text House, Edisford Road, in the
care of the Gold team throughout their visit, the children have enjoyed numerous trips including visiting the Castle, shopping around Clitheroe, indoor games at Waddow Hall, a trip to Black pool Pleasure Beach and a tour of Manchester United football ground. Miss McClintock has expressed her thanks to
the people of Clitheroe and St James’ Church for all their support and hospitality and for making this “a holiday of a lifetime” for the children. Our picture shows young musicians from South
Africa entertaining pupils at Waddington and West Bradford Primary School. (B230506/1)
children’s trip to the Ribble Valley will probably . be the only holiday they will have in their life
