Keikis sing Children Singing Peace
Around the World for the Congregation. The song was integrated in
a month long segment on peace. Each line was contemplated and applied
to every day life. The children sang the song while creating their
contribution to the Children's Cloth of Many Colors Peace Quilt. They
sang their prayers for peace into the quilt as they worked together.
Dawn taught the keikis a dance influenced by hula that she choreographed
to go with the song. It was performed beautifully by many of the children
during their classes. |
