"The Pied Piper of Expressive Arts: Napa to Nepal to Nairobi & Beyond," will be a brand new episode coming Monday September 13th to VoiceAmerica's Health and Wellness channel.
Gloria Simoneaux is the founder of Harambee Arts and two time Fulbright Scholar. She will share the work she has done with children all over the world to promote their wellbeing through the expressive arts and through community building. Harambee Arts promotes the well-being of children living in poverty who are often homeless, orphaned, abused and neglected. The show will discuss how her programs enhance the stability of the children’s families and support systems. She will share how children can develop their sense of self-worth and positive personal ethics by creating opportunities for children to reach out to other children. Her current work in Dominica, Nairobi, and Nepal will be highlighted and she will share the wisdom of how she cultivates hope even in the aftermath of the most unspeakable traumas. Gloria will elaborate upon the philosophy of Harambee Arts methodology and how all children of all abilities and accomplishments are valued. She believes in joining with the child in their world, rather than following rigid agendas sometimes created by adults. She will help us understand how her current project evolved into a series of coloring books, You are the Star of this Story and I Can’t Forgot. Both books are designed by and for children that addresses using expressive arts as an avenue for growth and self-regulation in the wake of trauma and natural disaster.
